A pair of gold cufflinks has been included in a touring exhibition of objects linked to the Titanic.

Featuring items salvaged from the wreck site of the famous vessel, which hit an iceberg and sank in 1912, the Titanic: Treasures From the Deep mobile museum is currently visiting the US.

The gold cufflinks appear in the travelling display of more than 50 items recovered from the seabed alongside a gem-set tie pin, which is a movable version of the Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition.

Sponsored by Country Financial and RMS Titanic, a subsidiary of Premier Exhibitions, the display uses science and history to describe recovery efforts and outline the story of the doomed voyage, with stops scheduled this month in Oregon, Washington and Illinois.

In 2007, a range of gold timepieces featuring coal and steel salvaged from the wreck of the Titanic was launched by Geneva-based watchmaker Romaine Jerome at a trade fair.
