Carrington purple enamel cufflinks, circa 1925.For Halloween this year Mother Nature played a trick. An unseasonable snowstorm kept us busy shoveling snow and clearing downed trees this weekend, instead of writing about antique cufflinks. As a result this month's post on the intricate cufflinks of the Art Deco era will have to wait for more clement weather.
Hopefully the above purple guilloche enamel cufflinks by Carrington & Company will be a sufficient treat.
