Recent additions to the Antique Cufflink Gallery include Carrington platinum and gold cufflinks set with mother of pearl, an enigmatic pair with a message of restrained love, and elegant Art Deco cufflinks with an engraved "A".
Platinum and Pearl II Platinum borders of engraved laurel wreaths surround creamy white mother-of-pearl centers. A shimmering duet of white on white. Crafted in platinum and 14kt gold, circa 1925. Cost: Sold
La Défi de L'amour Stylized symbols of love are hidden behind a maze-like border in the Chinese key pattern. Perhaps these cufflinks are a comment on the challenge of finding true love. Crafted in 14kt yellow and white gold, circa 1925. Cost: Sold
Elegant "A" An elegantly engraved "A" framed in a rectangular cartouche surrounded by linear and squiggling pinstripes. Jazzy cufflinks in the best Art Deco taste crafted in 14kt white gold, circa 1925. Cost: Sold
New in the Antique Stickpin Gallery are two elegant examples of Hans Brassler's work - one set with carnelian the other lapis lazuli.
Brassler Carnelian A dramatic carnelian glows luminously from within the golden folds of a flowing setting. A wonderful contrast between the stark geometry of the carnelian and the organic curves of the setting. Crafted in 14kt gold, circa 1910. Cost: $485
The Night Beetle A deep blue lapis lazuli set as the body of an exotic scarab or moth with golden wings tightly folded along its sides. In the lapis golden flecks of pyrite glitter like stars in the night sky. Created by Hans Brassler in 14kt gold, circa 1910. Cost: $485
These and other fine jewels from the past can be found in
