Founded in 1786 and still family-owned, Deakin & Francis is England’s oldest manufacturing jeweller, with more than two centuries of heritage in fine design and artisanal craftsmanship. Today, under the stewardship of Henry Deakin—the seventh generation to lead the house—the brand continues to uphold the highest traditions of English jewellery making.
Each pair of cufflinks is meticulously handcrafted in the same historic Birmingham workshops that date back to the Industrial Revolution. With a mastery of rare vitreous enamelling techniques, responsibly sourced Single Mine Origin (SMO) gold, and recycled sterling silver, Deakin & Francis creates pieces that are as ethically sound as they are elegant.
Their commitment to sustainability runs through every stage of production: from sourcing precious metals that support local communities, to ensuring a lower environmental impact through traditional handcrafting methods and 100% green energy usage.
The result is a collection of cufflinks that blend timeless style, impeccable craftsmanship, and responsible luxury. Whether worn with black tie or business attire, Deakin & Francis cufflinks are enduring accessories that embody both heritage and sophistication—making them a natural addition to the Kirby Allison collection.
