These Wood Quay Cufflinks unique Celtic Cufflinks from the Boru Warrior collection. The beaded surface of these raised Celtic cufflinks have been oxidized to give it an antique, matte gunmetal appearance. They are then decorated with polished stylized snake symbols. It is also adorned with a Celtic Warrior 18K Gold Bead.

The Wood Quay collection is inspired by Vikings. The Vikings came to Ireland in 795AD and gave Dublin or Dubh-Linn, meaning Black Pool, its name. They were in Ireland until King Brian Boru defeated them in 1014. This happened during the Battle of Clontarf on Good Friday, April 23, 1014. Wood Quay is the site where the remains of a huge Viking settlement was founded in Dublin in the 1970’s.

The Wood Quay collection captures the essence of these Viking warriors and celebrates their creativity. Using silver and pewter they created dress clasps, necklaces, cloak fastenings, brooches, rings and armlets in a variety of shapes and sizes. These magnificent pieces of jewelry have inspired Boru to create the Wood Quay Range.

Meet Our Vendor

The focus of Boru Jewelry is to emphasize the love and importance of family. Boru itself is a family business focused on creating beautiful jewelry that can be passed down for generations to come. Founded in the mid-1980’s under the name Celtic and Heraldic, Boru’s original focus was creating pieces of Family Coat of Arms Jewelry. Soon, they branched out and became known for being the first company to try out never-before seen products. They were the original designers of the meaningful “Mo Anam Cara” ring, which is Gaelic for “My Soulmate”. They were also the first company to use the claddagh ring as a wedding band. These are just a few examples of Boru’s leadership and unique ideas. 

Under the new ownership of the couple Lisa and Paul O’Neill in 2003, the company has continued this legacy and emphasized the values of loyalty and quality production and service. They have quite the talented staff, including craftsman and production manager, Mamer, who has trained all over the world and ensures that the pieces are not only uniquely beautiful, but also made to last. The rebranding of the name Boru was inspired by Brian Boru, the last High King of Ireland, and his role as a patron of the arts and learning. Under his leadership, there was the creation of incredible craftsmanship, manuscripts and masonry. Nowadays, the company Boru continues his legacy by creating handmade jewelry with dedication and passion. They hope that their hard work brings you a little piece of Ireland.
