An extremely rare pair of 22K yellow gold cufflinks designed by the famous surrealist painter Salvador Dali. Inspired by his hero, Louis XIV, Dali minted a limited number of his own gold coins in 1966. The artist called his gold coin the "Dali d'or" after the "Louis d'or" coins created for the French king. The coins were minted in four sizes and values, and Dali occasionally used them to pay debts he owed to friends.In 1967, a year after creating the money, Dali collaborated with the luxury jeweler Piaget to create a line of jewelry incorporating the remaining coins. Dali d'or jewels are quite rare, but can be found as watches, pendants, earrings, brooches and cufflinks. Like the royal coins, Dali's personal coins featured his likeness along with that of his wife, Gala, on the front. Their faces are surrounded by laurel leaves, fleurs-de-lys and eggs, the last element a recurring symbol of rebirth in Dali's works. The same motifs are repeated on the back, but without the faces and in an even more surrealistic design. Each coin is signed and dated by Dali and is incised with its edition number. The coins used for this pair of cufflinks are #1495 and #1499. The toggle findings are worked in 18K gold and are signed "Piaget". Origin: Spain and France, 1967. Condition: excellent, sharp detail. Size: 1" diameter. Weight: 35.8 grams.

A good pair of vintage cufflinks featuring a tiger’s claws mounted in 9K rose gold. The claws are set in a traditional, but simple manner popular since the time of Queen Victoria’s ascension as Empress of India. The faces are connected by chains to later 9K yellow gold flat plaque backs, ideal for monogramming. The backs are fully hallmarked for Birmingham, England with the date mark for 1968, but the mounted claws probably date to around 1900.Origin: England. Condition: excellent. Size: claws, 1-5/16” long. Weight: 6.4 grams.
