A very good pair of late Edwardian 14K yellow gold double-faced cufflinks, each face centering an oval blue sapphire cabochon. The faces are enhanced with engine-turned engraving in a floral swag pattern enclosed within a notched border. The sapphires have very deep blue color and are quite large compared to most gem-set cufflinks of the period. The back of one cufflink is engraved “Linked with fondest memories” and the other completes the inscription with “To J.M. from R.M. 1919”. The connectors are marked “14K”.Origin: America, 1919. Condition: excellent, all original. Size: 5/8” x 1/2". Weight: 8.5 grams. Approximate Total Gemstone Weight: 3.28 carats.

A very nice pair of Art Nouveau sterling silver cufflinks by Unger Bros. Each of the oval faces features a stylized design reminiscent of pine needles swirling around a central boss. The design shows a clear trend toward a more geometric style that eventually grew into Art Deco, rather than the swirling, feminine lines of classic Art Nouveau. The faces are connected by oval links. The backs are stamped with Unger's hallmark.Origin: America, ca. 1910. Condition: excellent, all original, sharp detail. Size: 13/16" x 17/32". Weight: 11.0 grams.

An elegant pair of Edwardian cufflinks, the round faces worked in an ornate checkerboard pattern of rose gold and platinum. The surface of each square is engraved with parallel curving lines, and the squares are set in opposition, so the curving lines are constantly interrupted. The use of rose gold with platinum is especially unexpected. The overall design is very sophisticated. The disks are hinged and are attached to old-fashioned barbell-type toggle backs. Tested and guaranteed 14K gold and platinum.Origin: America, ca. 1920. Condition: excellent, all original. Size: 3/4" diameter. Weight: 9.0 grams.

An interesting pair of 18K yellow and white gold Modernist stirrup cufflinks concealing a hidden erotic element. When being worn, the cufflinks appear to be a standard pair of stirrup style cufflinks, but the mechanical closure is styled as a white gold penis that inserts (rather tightly) into a "slot" on the other side of the cufflink. The exposed surfaces have decorative engraving in a tree-bark pattern found on pieces from the 1950s. Stirrup-style cufflinks were popularized by Cartier in the 1940s, but it's unlikely that they ever envisioned this particular variation. The cufflinks are marked 18K and have the maker's mark "S&F".Origin: America, ca. 1955. Condition: excellent. Size: 1" x 1". Weight: 24.0 grams.
