Thistle Pewter Cufflinks

Wear a touch of Scotland on your shirt cuffs. The Thistle Pewter Cufflinks are handmade from fine British Pewter with a polished finish, roughly 16mm wide and arrive in a leatherette presentation box.

These cufflinks are made entirely by hand from some of the finest British pewter, with a thistle on the face and a bullet finding on the back. They are a safe bet for anyone who likes Scottish themed gifts and they arrive boxed and ready to give.

How did a thorny flower become a national emblem? The story goes that when Scotland was being raided by Vikings, a group of Scottish fighting men were resting overnight in a field. A raiding party crept up on them in the dark, stood barefoot on a patch of thistles and cried out in pain. The noise woke the Scots, who fought the attackers off. From that day the thistle has been Scotland's national emblem.

A Pewter Maker picking up an Antique Mould

A E Williams (Est 1779) Ltd is one of Britain's oldest pewter makers, still run by the family that founded it nearly 250 years ago. 


The story began when Thomas Williams started a small workshop making flatware and dishes from his home on the Welsh border, and from there the craft passed down through eight generations of the same family, all the way to Rebecca Johnson, who joined the business in 2015. 


Today we're based at our workshop in Digbeth, Birmingham, where we've been since the early 1970s.

OUR STORY
Pouring molten pewter into a bronze mould

We work from a collection of over 1,500 antique bronze moulds, some of which are centuries old. Many were made by hand long before machine tooling existed, and we still use them today, alongside moulds and skills of our own, to produce pieces with the kind of character that mass production simply can't replicate.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

At A E Williams, the materials we work with have been chosen over nearly 250 years of making things properly. Pewter sits at the heart of everything we do, but we also work with slate, glass, leather, and wood — each selected because it brings something the others can't: a different feel, a different occasion, a different kind of beauty.

Whatever you're looking for, every material we use is chosen to last, and to look better for it.
