A very attractive pair of Retro cufflinks fashioned in 14K rose gold. Each round face is collet-set with a large round mixed-cut synthetic ruby. Synthetic rubies were particularly popular in the 1940s when rubies from war-torn Southeast Asia were difficult to get. Many of the greatest jewelry houses such as Tiffany and Cartier used synthetic stones in some pieces. The reddish ton of both the rubies and the gold is very complimentary. The round faces are connected with chains to torpedo backs. Tested and guaranteed 14K.Origin: America, ca. 1940. Condition: excellent. Size: 5/8” diameter. Weight: 5.9 grams. Approximate Total Gemstone Weight: 4.88 carats.

A very heavy pair of 18K yellow gold stirrup cufflinks retailed by famed New York jeweler Olga Tritt. Stirrup or “étrillé” cufflinks were popularized by Cartier in the 1940s and have appeared in many variations since. This pair is unusual because of the width of the gold mesh and their relative weightiness. The closing mechanism is a bit more decorative than most, even though it can’t be seen when the cufflinks are in place. The mechanism is marked with a French jeweler’s mark indicating 18K. The cufflinks are presented in their original box, the inside of the lid imprinted with Olga Tritt’s logo and Park Avenue address.Origin: France, ca. 1970. Condition: excellent. Size: 1” x 7/8” x 5/16” wide. Weight: 25.0 grams.
