Child & Child were a firm of jewellers established in London in 1880. They shared much in common with their
contemporaries Giuliano and were likewise patronised by the Pre-Raphaelite artists. Edward Burne Jones entrusted
the firm to make up a number of his designs.They enjoyed Royal patronage and Queen Alexandra granted
the business her warrant. Their work often included green enamel of the shade used in these cufflinks.
