Imported directly from Scotland these cufflinks are made from brushed Pewter. The Lion Rampant has a long association with the Scots going back to King William I "the Lion" who lived from 1143 to 1214, adopted a heraldic device showing a rampant lion, the king of beasts, rearing up with three paws stretched out. This became the royal coat of arms in Scotland. The lion was also incorporated into the Great Seal of Scotland which was placed on all official documents.
When the royal coat of arms was being designed, the lion rampant was obviously incorporated, with the Latin motto "Nemo me impune lacessit" meaning "No one attacks me with impunity". In Scots, that became "Wha daur meddle wi' me?"
All cufflinks purchased at Benjamin Cufflinks are inclusive of GST and come presented in a single cufflink box.
