Donegal Granite Irish Cufflinks
Made by Alistair R
Donegal Granite Irish Cufflinks, by Alistair R
The Bailey collection is made of a rectangular stone set into a minimalist channel setting in our unique A-frame link design. This link is cast out of a single piece of silver with no moving parts and is designed to be easy to put on and sit comfortably all day. All Alistair R silver cufflinks are hallmarked with the 925 Sterling Silver mark and the unique Alistair R makers mark. Featuring a unique form of granite only found in Co. Donegal, North West Ireland and rarely seen in jewellery, this stone has been chosen for its small pattern size and stunning dappled monochrome shades.
Approximate Dimensions: cufflink face measures 20mm x 10mm.
About the Maker:
Through his stone carving and jewellery making in Co Down Alistair aims to bring a touch of style, colour and happiness into our fractious world. After a successful career in a variety of business sectors Alistair decided to follow his sister, mother and maternal grandfather into the arts taking up lapidary as a hobby before training in Hatton Gardens and building the Alistair R studio. After 2 years honing his skills and learning traditional silver and goldsmithing techniques Alistair launched his range, initially of cufflinks, in 2014.
Alistair R remains a small family atelier style studio workshop hand making small volumes of jewellery. Working from rough stone he carves simple architectural shapes to highlight the beautiful colours and tones of the stone and other material with which he works. These are made into necklaces, earrings, cufflinks, lapel pins, commission and ‘one-of’ pieces – of timelessly simple yet striking design.
