Father's Day Jewellery

 

Whereas Mother's Day has been officially recognised since 1914, Father's Day has only been a tradition since 1924, after President Calvin Coolidge publicly became the first president to support the concept, and declared it a national event. This year is the 85th Anniversary since Father's Day was first founded, so why not buy something extra special for your Dad to celebrate this happy occasion.

Purple Label Cufflinks

In our Purple Label Jewellery collection, we have a wide range of beautifully handcrafted cufflinks that would be cherished for the years to come, and are suitable for every man. Is your father a bit of a DIY enthusiast, but also careful about his appearance? If so, why not have a look at our Sterling Silver nut and bolt cufflinks. These charming cufflinks have an element of fun to them, with one in the shape of a nut and the other in the shape of a bolt - a perfect gift for someone with a sense of humour and a stylish fashion sense!

Purple Label Cufflinks

If your father's job requires him to dress quite soberly, we have cufflinks to suit - in the collection are several pairs of plain and unadorned cufflinks in varying shapes and metals, which contrast nicely with dark work suits. Or, to jazz up an outfit, why not think about our engraved cufflinks - simple, elegant, but guaranteed to add a bit of interest to a plain white shirt!

And finally, we have some cufflinks which are not just metal, but with gemstones as well! Hematite, blue lace agate, mother of pearl – the range of choices mean that, whatever your father's preference, you're sure to find something that he'll love!

Fun Father's Day Facts:

  • An American lady named Sonora Dodd started the tradition of Father's Day, as a way of honouring her father, a widow who had brought up her and her siblings single-handedly.
  • Although in many countries, such as England, Japan and Canada, Father's day is celebrated on the third Sunday in June, in other countries, it is celebrated on different days - for example, in Sweden and Norway, Father's Day is on the second Sunday in November, and in Brazil, it's on the second Sunday in August.
  • Although President Calvin Coolidge was the first president to officially declare Father's Day a national event in 1924, it was President Lyndon Johnson who signed a presidential proclamation designating the third Sunday in June as Father's Day.
