Enamel cufflinks from the campus railings
These 2 cufflink designs were inspired by a 'C and Crown' detail on the campus wrought iron railing and by the famous brass lion's head door knocker. They were handmade at our foundry in England, which makes the hardware for the royal carriages at Buckingham Palace.
A brass coaster cast in sand
The coaster carries the same 'C and Crown' detail from the railing. It was handmade in England by pouring molten brass into a bespoke sand-cast mold.
A paperweight in gold and silver wire
Our paperweights are handmade with the same gold and silver gilt metal wire thread used for the Guards' uniforms at Buckingham Palace. This one carries the name of The 1754 Society.
A silk scarf and tie for Teachers College
The design was inspired by the vaulted blue and gold arches in Russell Hall, at the entrance to the Gottesman Libraries at Teachers College. We studied the shape and geometric arrangement of the arches from photographs, then set the pattern at a very large scale for the silk scarf and greatly reduced it for the tie.

How we work
Every Harris Made commission follows the same 3 steps: a conversation with Emma, our designer and co-founder, about what makes your institution special; samples for your approval before production; and a final inspection by Emma before each gift is wrapped in a client-branded presentation box.
