A very fine pair of 18K yellow gold cufflinks by Van Cleef & Arpels. Each cufflink has two faceted baton faces, each collet-set with a band of rectangular cut sapphires. The stones have superbly saturated color and excellent clarity. The faces are joined with solid connectors in white gold that conceal a unique telescoping action. This movement allows the cufflinks to be worn with cuffs of varying thicknesses and makes them easier to put on, as well. Each is fully hallmarked with French “tete d’aigle” for 18K gold and also with Van Cleef & Arpels ‘maker’s mark. Both have the serial number “17664Z”. One cufflink is further marked “Van Cleef & Arpels S.G.D.G. Brevete Déposé 48893”, thus indicating the patent number for the closing mechanism.Origin: France, ca. 1940. Condition: excellent, all original. Size: 11/16” x 5/16”. Weight: 13.5 grams. Approximate Total Gemstone Weight: 4.64 carats.

The sapphires have nice color saturation, and the gold is quite heavy. Each cufflink is marked “18K”. The faces of the shirt studs are also 18K, but the spring mechanism on the back is 14K.Origin: America, ca. 1980. Condition: excellent, all original.

A magnificent set of cufflinks the five shirt studs worked in 18K yellow and white gold set with diamonds. The face of each cufflink and stud is formed as a white gold star surrounded by a foliate and beaded yellow gold border. The stars are set with brilliant round-cut diamonds of extremely fine quality, estimated at F color, VSI clarity. The outer gold edges have fine saw-pierced galleries. The backs of the cufflinks have a toggle closure and the studs have double-folding flanges. This set is most unusual in that it includes five shirt studs. The quality of workmanship is at a level of the most exclusive makers. The presence of five studs indicates that the set was probably a custom order, since most formal shirts have only three or four holes for studs. The advantage of the fifth stud, of course, is that if you lose one of the others you have a ready replacement! The yellow gold is intensely yellow—a shade not usually achieved below 20K. Each piece is marked “750” for 18K gold and is signed “DIF”.Origin: probably European, ca. 1950. Condition: excellent, all original. Size: cufflinks, 5/8” diameter; studs, 7/16” diameter. Weight: 25.0 grams. Approximate Total Diamond Weight: 1.25 carats.
