Recent Additions


July is traditionally a quiet month in the jewelry trade. But, despite taking time to hike in the mountains with the beagle and watching the Tour de France, I have added several pairs of cufflinks, stickpins and brooches to the Antique Cufflink and Antique and Estate Jewelry Galleries.

Antique Cufflinks

Recent additions to the Antique Cufflink Gallery include two beautiful enamel pairs - one British and one created by the quintessential American jewelry maker, Krementz & Company.


Elegant blue guilloche enamel cufflinks. (J9072)

Regal Blue Elegant cufflinks with regal blue enamels and striking Art Deco borders crafted in white gold. Engraved radiant starbursts are highlighted by the translucent enamel. Created by Krementz & Company in 14kt gold, circa 1925.


British blue enamel cufflinks. (J9029)

Blue and Gold Elegant British cufflinks with engraved gold centers of rippling lines surrounded by beautiful blue enamel borders. Crafted in 9kt gold, circa 1925.


These and other fine antique cufflinks can be found
