A nice pair of sterling silver cufflinks, the front faces worked in the "Curio Medallion" style. This design, created by George Shiebler, was intended to give the impression that the pieces were actually ancient coins excavated from the ground. The edges are intentionally irregular, the surfaces pitted, and the sharp designs softened as if they were worn away by the centuries. One face depicts Apollo, god of the sun and representative of male beauty, dressed in his warrior's helmet embossed with an image of his golden chariot. The other features a goddess, and though she has no identifying attributes, it's likely she represents Aphrodite, goddess of beauty and love. The faces are attached to custom-made made backs cast to compliment the original designs of the faces. The faces are marked "Sterling Silver" and have an unknown maker's mark.Origin: America, ca. 1880. Condition: excellent. Size: 5/8" diameter. Weight: 14.2 grams.

An extremely rare pair of 18th century silver double-faced cufflinks set with old European cut colorless paste gemstones. The crystals are held in place in traditional cut-down settings typical of the period and the faces are joined with the quatrefoil connector almost always seen on this type of cufflink. The backs of the crystals are foiled in silver to provider a brighter appearance. Cufflinks such as these are usually broken up into two pairs of earrings, so it is quite uncommon to find a pair in original condition.Origin: England, ca. 1780. Condition: excellent, original patina. Size: 17/32” diameter.
