Horse Zodiac Cufflinks in 18ct Gold

Our Year of the Horse Cufflinks honour one of the most dynamic chapters in the Chinese Zodiac – a symbol of freedom, endurance and unstoppable momentum.

In Zodiac lore, the Horse is revered for its strength and spirit. When paired with the fire element in 2026, those qualities are intensified – bringing confidence, vitality and bold forward motion.

Long, long ago, the Jade Emperor invited all the animals to compete in a great race, with the purpose of selecting twelve animals to be his personal guards. An immortal messenger was sent into the land of men to announce that the first twelve animals to pass through the heavenly gates would be honoured with a place in the Zodiac.

The race began beside a fast-flowing river that all the animals had to cross in order to reach the finish line. Strong, energetic, and free-spirited, the Horse charged into the water, swimming powerfully against the current and then galloping swiftly toward the gates beyond.

Just as the Horse was about to cross the finish line, a sudden movement startled it. A clever Snake, which had secretly coiled itself around the Horse’s leg during the crossing, slipped free and darted ahead at the very last moment. Startled but undeterred, the Horse quickly recovered and crossed the line immediately after.

And so, the Horse claimed seventh place in the Zodiac. Known ever since for its strength, speed, and noble heart, the Horse represents freedom, determination, and an unyielding drive to move forward toward new horizons.

A limited edition collection, only 88 pairs in sterling silver and 8 pairs in 18ct gold have been crafted worldwide. Since the launch of our first Zodiac cufflinks in 2020, these pieces have become meaningful markers of time – collected, gifted and worn to honour tradition, storytelling and personal milestones.

Designed as enduring keepsakes, the Year of the Horse Cufflinks celebrate movement, ambition and inner fire – a story captured in silver and gold, to be carried forward.

It all began when Patrick created a pair of earrings for his wife Catja, who wore them to the hair salon, where her hairdresser saw them and requested that a pair be made for her. Soon afterwards, all the other ladies who went to the salon were asking for similar earrings and from this gift of love, our journey as Africa’s luxury house began.

Patrick and Catja have injected their style and creativity into the magical environment of their home and studio in the sanctuary of the Umwimsi Valley where they brought up their four sons.

From day one, the boys grew up immersed in the creative surroundings of their father’s studio. Alexander, Forbes, Patrick Jnr and Benjamin infused the house of Mavros with their enthusiasm, creativity and passion with a serious pinch of fun...

Marrying intricate craftsmanship with an intrepid family heritage, every piece that we make has been designed by a member of the family with the sole intention of bringing delight and showcasing the very best of African luxury.

Love pervades everything connected with our business, from the design and production of our works of art to the care and attention given to serving our customers and friends and, of course, our love of Africa.
