Mahjong Tile Cufflinks | Chinese Game Gift | 20mm Rectangle in Sterling Silver

A pair of sterling silver cufflinks made from genuine Mahjong tiles. The tiles come from a vintage set we bought in Hong Kong: around 30 years old, made from traditional bone and bamboo, and marked in red and blue. You will not find these anywhere else.

The tile options

Choose Bamboo 6, with its rows of stylised bamboo sticks, or Dots 5 or Dots 6, whose circles are thought to represent old Chinese coins. All three come from Mahjong's numbered suits.

Mahjong is a game that originated in China and is usually played with a set of 144 tiles based on Chinese characters and symbols.

There are three groups of suits, numbered from 1 to 9. There are two sets of Honours tiles: Winds and Dragons. The Winds are East, South, West and North. The Dragons are Red, Green and White.
There are two sets of bonus tiles: Flowers and Seasons. The flower and season tiles are unique in the fact that each one has a different artistic rendering of a specific type of flower or season, and each design has only one tile in the whole set, meaning there are four flower tiles and four season tiles.
