Precious Lapis Lazuli and Silver
Inspired by aquiline imagery that has proliferated for millennia as a symbol of strength and dignity, these cufflinks depict finely carved eagle’s claws grasping balls made from a semi-precious stone. Handcrafted by master jewelers, these cufflinks are intended to stand the test of time, both as a timeless style icon and in the literal sense.
With a solid body made with 925-fineness sterling silver and thickly plated with brilliant platinum, these cufflinks are a sight to see. Silver is a timeless classic, and our deep, rich silver will perfectly complement your outfits at any formality level. A thick plating ensures that the platinum silver will not rub off with regular wear and imparts a rich luster that will truly stand the test of time and allows you to enjoy the look and feel of solid platinum silver cufflinks.
In the claws of our eagles are clasped lapis lazuli balls. Once treasured as more valuable than gold, lapis lazuli is a deep, rich blue that pairs effortlessly with most of the colors in menswear. Unlike inferior examples of this semi-precious stone, Fort Belvedere’s lapis lazuli does not feature the lighter shades of blue typical of lower-quality stones. Because this semi-precious stone is natural, there will be subtle variations that make each stone unique, and your stones will vary from those seen in the pictures.
These cufflinks were intentionally designed to function at a variety of formalities with the widest possible range of looks. At the office, on a date, or just out and about, these eagle claw cufflinks will give you the confidence and dignified aire of the mighty eagle! They can be worn with dark or light suits, three-piece suits, casual ensembles, or sport coat combinations. They are a fantastic choice for everyday wear or for travel because they are so versatile. They are appropriate for any informal outfit and can even be worn with many formal ensembles.
Fort Belvedere carries these same cufflinks in both gold and silver to suit any ensemble. The balls are also available as Carnelian, Malachite, Tiger’s Eye, Lapis Lazuli, or Onyx stones, so they can harmonize effortlessly with looks in any color of the rainbow.

Heritage-Grade Hand-Carved Cufflinks
The semi-precious stones that decorate these cufflinks are the first thing that people notice, and for good reason: each stone is sourced from reputable dealers and undergoes a rigorous quality control regiment to ensure that only the finest stones make their way into the final product. The result? Truly astounding semi-precious stones that provide an unforgettable flash of color.
To ensure their durability, the bodies of these cufflinks have been cast from 925 sterling silver. While we considered making these cufflinks out of solid gold or platinum, we recognized that this would be cost prohibitive for many of our loyal customers. Therefore, we decided to utilize sterling silver for the bodies and then thickly plate each stud in a precious metal.
With a plating of 5 to 6 microns in thickness, these cufflinks look and wear exactly like examples crafted from solid gold or platinum, but at a fraction of the cost. The ethereal glint of shimmering platinum or the vibrant shine of gold marks these cufflinks as unique pieces of art that you will proudly pass on to your children.
Perfectly Proportioned Dimensions
These cufflinks are sized according to the refined and understated conventions of the Golden Age of Menswear and were rigorously tested with shirts with cuff buttonholes ranging from 13 to 19 mm, or .5” to .75,” to ensure an elegant position and a secure hold.
Length≈ 35mm or 1.38″
Large Ball Diameter ≈ 12mm or 0.48″
Small Ball Diameter ≈ 8mm – 0.32.”
Please note that the additional width created by the claws around the smaller ball ensures a secure fit within the cufflink buttonhole.
Weight ≈ 14 grams.
How to Wear These Cufflinks
These cufflinks are designed to be worn with a double, or French, cuff. Traditionally, you should endeavor to match the other metals in your outfit, such as a wristwatch, belt buckle, collar jewelry, or rings, with the metal of your cufflinks.
Fort Belvedere carries these same cufflinks with either gold or silver plating and clasping one of six different semi-precious stones.
Jewelry That Gets Better with Age
With regular use, your Fort Belvedere jewelry should not require any special cleaning and will naturally develop a beautiful, subtle patina that imparts personality and uniqueness.
If desired, a quality precious metal cleaner can be used sparingly to bring out a brighter shine on the metal, but this is not necessary. All of our jewelry is sturdy enough that you can wear it without concern and can look forward to passing them on to your children or even grandchildren.
