Above is the cover of the 50th anniversary issue of the The Jewelers' Circular, a jewelry trade publication founded in 1869. The anniversary issue appeared shortly after World War I ended with the Armistice of 1918. The cover reflects the celebratory optimism of the time with the hope that economic prosperity and growth would return, advancements in science and technology would brighten the future, and world peace would prevail.<br />
<br />
But, it was also a time of uncertainty and doubt as the world endured the ravages of the misnamed "Spanish flu" pandemic. By 1921 an estimated 500 million people had been infected with the virulent strain of the H1N1 virus (close to a third of the world's population) and 50 million people had perished throughout the world. In many ways this magazine cover speaks to the hopes and challenges of our own time as well as its own.
<br />
<br />
The artist who created the cover was Hans Brassler, a noted artist-jeweler of the early 20th century. Brassler was a gifted Renaissance man who in addition to creating covers for The Jewelers' Circular, designed silver flatware for Tiffany & Company, founded The Brassler Company in 1909 to create artistic, finely crafted jewels, collaborated in the 1930s to create a magnificent silver and gold dinner service for the auto magnate Lawrence Fisher, and designed jewel-set hood ornaments for Cadillacs as well as stained glass windows for the Detroit Cathedral. He was also the father of the noted 20th-century sculptor Margaret Brassler Kane.<br />

Wishing everyone a happy Independence Day and peaceful and safe weekend!<br />

<b>Acquiring and researching antique cufflinks
takes you in many interesting directions. Often you follow
an unpromising lead or stray clue with surprising results.
The following architect's rendering of a fine Victorian home is
one such discovery.<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://jewelryexpert.com/catalog/Charles-Carrington-House.htm" target="_blank"><b><img alt="Charles L. Carrington house." src="https://jewelryexpert.com/catalog/graphics/Charles-Carrington-House-400.jpg" /></b></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Please click the above
rendering for an enlarged view. </b></div>
<b><br />
In 1885 Charles L. Carrington, later founder of Carrington &
Company, was a partner in the jewelry manufacturer Mayhew,
Leonard & Carrington. Since arriving in New York City
shortly after the Civil War, his rise in the jewelry trade had
been steady and impressive. In 1885 he decided
to provide for his family and celebrate his success by building
a stately home in Newark, New Jersey.<br />
<br />
Notice of the Carrington house illustrated with the above
rendering was published in the August, 1885 issue of American
Architects and Building News.<br />
</b>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<h5>
<b>HOUSE FOR MR. CHARLES L. CARRINGTON, HIGH ST., NEAR
<br />
CLINTON AVE., NEWARK, N.J. MR. VAN CAMPEN TAYLOR<br />
ARCHITECT, NEWARK, N.J.</b></h5>
<b>
</b></div>
<b><i>The house is now in course of erection on
one of the principal residence streets of the city. The
first story will be built of North River brick, laid in red
mortar, with Belleville stone trimmings. The second
story, etc., will be of frame shingled with cedar
shingles. The roof will be slated. The interior will be
finished with painted walls, tiled fireplaces and hard-wood
stairs and mantels. The cost will be about $12,000. <br />
<br />
</i> </b>
<br />
<b> </b><b> </b><b> </b><b> </b>
<b>By 1900 Mayhew and Leonard had retired and
Charles Carrington reformed the firm as Carrington & Co.
with his sons serving in various positions. During the first
half of the 20th century Carrington & Co. was one of the
preeminent maker's of fine cufflinks and dress sets.
Carrington remained active with the firm and lived in his house
on High Street until his death in 1924.<br />

<b>In old postcards of Newark's storied Riviera Hotel (located at
the corner of Clinton Ave. and High Street) the Carrington house
can be seen just to the right of the hotel. The house was
lost some time after 1950 and in the 1980s High Street was
renamed Dr. Martin Luther King Boulevard. A recent tour of
the area on Google maps suggests that the former house site is
now a small parking lot.<br />

Frequent visitors are aware of my enthusiasm for the cufflinks
and other jewels created by Carrington & Company.

In the Middle Ages St. Dunstan (909 - 988) was recognized as the patron saint of English goldsmiths and jewelers. A man ahead of his time, Dunstan was a Renaissance man five hundred years before the Renaissance. He served as an adviser and state minister to several English kings and as Archbishop of Canterbury in the late 10th century. St Dunstan was also a noted harp player and composer of hymns, a gifted writer and illustrator of manuscripts and an accomplished silversmith.<br />
<br />
May 19th is celebrated as St Dunstan's Day. This is why before 1660 the date letters used in English hallmarking ran from May 19th of one year to May 18th of the next year. After the English Restoration, Charles II decided it would be better if the date letters ran from his birthday (May 29th) instead. It is nice to be king.<br />
<br />
Pictured above is St. Dunstan engaged in one of his favorite activites - tormenting the devil. Here he is pictured in an early 14th century manuscript tweaking the devil's nose with a smithy's fiery tongs. Did I forget to mention St. Dunstan was also an accomplished blacksmith?<br />
<br />

Larter & Sons
was a prolific maker of cufflinks and other gentlemen's
accessories during the late 19th century and for much of the

gem-set cufflinks and dress sets to less expensive, but equally
well made, cufflinks and accessories crafted in lesser metals.
<br />
<br />
In the early 1920s the firm created a wonderful collection of handsomely designed, finely crafted men's rings reflecting the arts and
architecture of past historic periods. These rings were
announced to the jewelry trade with a series of graphically
striking advertisements matching the beauty and themes of the
rings. Below is Larter & Sons' advertisement summarizing the rings in the collection. Advertisements for the individual rings can be found in earlier posts.<br />

Larter & Sons
was a prolific maker of cufflinks and other gentleman's
accessories during the late 19th century and through much of the
20th century. Their output ranged from fine gold and
gem-set cufflinks and dress sets to less expensive, but equally
well made, cufflinks and accessories crafted in base metal.
<br />
<br />
In the early 1920s the firm created a wonderful collection of finely
designed and crafted men's rings reflecting the motifs and
architecture of past historic periods. These rings were
announced to the jewelry trade with a series of graphically
striking advertisements that matched the beauty and theme of the
rings. Below is the advertisement for Larter's ring

Several years ago I wrote an article, <a href="https://antiquecufflinks.blogspot.com/2010/12/" target="_blank">The Mystery of the TH Maker Revisited</a>, about the affinity between the cufflinks of an unidentified maker who signed pieces "TH" and those of the Irving Heidelscheimer company. <br />
<br />
Since that time additional facts have come to light and the identity of the "TH" maker has been revealed. Earlier this year while reviewing early issues of the Jewelers Circular (a jewelry trade journal founded in 1869) I came across an intriguing notice in a 1919 issue reporting that the Irving Manufacturing Co. (formerly Irving Heidelscheimer) had incorporated and changed its name to Heidell & Trow Co. The new firm was to maintain the workshop and operations of the predecessor and was to be managed by Irving Heidell and George Swift Trow. Heidell & Trow seemed a likely suspect for the mysterious "TH" maker. <br />

<p>
The imagination and creativity of the cufflink makers of the late 19th and early 20th century is undoubted. A quick scan of the <a data-lynx-mode="origin" href="http://www.jewelryexpert.com/catalog/Antique-Cufflinks-Gallery.htm" rel="" style="color: #365899; cursor: pointer; font-family: "georgia",serif;" target="_blank">Antique Cufflink Gallery</a> is all that is needed to confirm. What may be lesser known is that the same level of inventiveness and artistry is often evident in the linkages devised to hold the fronts and backs of the cufflinks together.</p>
<p>
A hundred years ago cufflinks makers wrestled with two challenges: to create cufflinks that could be easily put on a cuff and that would also remain safely in place when worn. The inventive spirit of the age was brought to bear on this issue and a great variety of linkage designs and mechanisms was created. The <a data-lynx-mode="origin" href="http://www.jewelryexpert.com/catalog/Richardson-Radiant-Wave-Cufflinks-J9286.htm" rel="" style="color: #365899; cursor: pointer; font-family: "georgia",serif;" target="_blank">striking Art Deco cufflink</a> pictured offers an interesting example of linkage design. It was created around 1925 by the Richardson Manufacturing Co.

Reverse of Art Deco cufflink.</div>
<br />
<p>
The linkage features a dramatically cut-out bridge that is hinged at one end and rigidly attached at the other. The hinged end allows the top of the cufflink to lie flush against the bridge as it passes through a button hole and the rigid end serves as a "push plate" allowing the wearer's thumb to help ease the cufflink through the cuff. As more angular, sometimes geometrically complex cufflinks came into fashion during the Art Deco era a little encouragement of the cufflink through the cuff was sometimes needed.
</p>
<p>
Once the front of the cufflink passed through the button hole, the top opened and lay flat against the cuff securely anchoring the cufflink in place. The design is both functional and aesthetically pleasing. The same careful thought that was applied to the design and crafting of the finely decorated tops was also applied to the linkages.
