Description: | One silver cufflink from a pair of cuff links. Each button element is circular, 16.1mm and 16.5mm diameter and has a down-turned edge. The buttons depict four hearts with a quatrefoil of four loops between them (Lewis: form 1, type F). An oval loop of round sectioned wire projects from the reverse of each disc. These are joined by an oval wire link which is 17.3mm long, and 7.2mm wide. The wire is 1.7mm in diameter. There is a very worn illegible maker's mark on the link.Button diameter: 16.5mmWeight: 2.51g.Lewis (2013) describes this design as "a quatrefoil of four loops, with a heart between each arm. This design is reminiscent (but not the same as) those on fourpence pieces in the name of Charles II, dated 1670 to 1684) which show four interlinked C's with an emblem between each (S 3384)." An example of a matching cufflink can be found on the PAS database: WILT-7D0B06 (2009 T283).
