Modernist 18K Yellow & White Gold Erotic Cufflinks
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.
