This Antique Jewelry cufflink item is from the Art Deco period, hand-crafted in 14k yellow gold, weighing 6.4g and measuring 14mm wide and 1mm deep. In elegantly simple, classically distinct and refined style, these authentic antique geometrically and naturalistically inspired 1920’s Art Deco cufflinks are designed as octahedral plaques, enhanced by artistic texturing and chase work. Immaculately textured stripes within an orbicular inner contour adorn the center of each octahedral plaque, surrounded by skillfully chased and reeded, floral and foliate inspired perimeters. These original Art Deco cufflink jewelry of intriguing aesthetic feature flexible chains comprising interlocking 'infinity symbol' and ovular links on reverse, sold in a custom cufflink box to make the ideal gift for a gentleman.

Although there is evidence of cuff fasteners in ancient hieroglyphics, even included in Kung Tut's crypt, cufflinks as we know them today were introduced by the French in the mid 1600's and, through the lapse of time, moved from the realm of practicality to that of personal adornment. Until the early 17th century gentlemen had used ribbons or lace to hold their shirt sleeves closed. The late 1700's witnessed new styles of cufflinks which were readily adopted by the middle-class, particularly tradesmen, and by early 1840's cufflinks were produced in the form of gold, silver or pearl buttons held together by metal, often brass chain.
