SOLD - Vintage 1950s Artist Made Modernistic Cat Cuff Links in 18k and Sterling
$300.00
$245.00
Sold out
Peruvian 18 karat gold and sterling cat cuff links are inspired by Pre-Columbian motifs, but filtered through the design sensibilities of the artist's Mid-Century contemporaries. They have a cool 1950's modernist look, so they appear ancient and modern at the same time. Entirely hand made, the cats' bodies were cut out of 18 karat yellow or rose gold and applied to the darkly oxidized (deliberately darkened) square silver faces of the links, which makes the golden cats stand out strikingly against the black background. The borders of the links have slightly sloping sides and squared off corners which frame them like a painting and further makes the design pop.
Antique Torrini Solid 18k Tri-Gold Button Covers Italian Bevetto (Patent) an Unbelievable Find | Rare
$1,500.00
$1,200.00
On a rarity factor on a scale from 1-10 as I often commentate on rarer items, these are a 10. Made by Torrini in 1800's antiquity Florence, Italy; these pieces appear to be the first iteration of the illusive Mens Button Cover. An idea bloomed from the Torrini family themselves. Torrini Manifattura Orafa is a family goldsmith artisan business that has its roots all the way back to the 15th century. In fact, some will argue, they were and still are the finest handcrafted goldsmith in the world, and they have a fantastic museum of their early work right in Florence. Although not all records are available, we know they were commissioned and worked with the brightest artists in Italy on very important projects, like the baptismal font in the Baptistry of nearby Siena. Although these button covers were a newer concept of antiquity, different than cufflinks but serve a similar purpose, they seem to have been produced in extremely small quantities by hand at the Torrini workshop. Many antiquity specialists including myself, believe that these were difficult to make, thereby expensive and reserved for highly respected figures, even the Pontiff himself (that is speculation). Properly hallmarked with both the old Torrini Family Hallmark and .750 in gold purity. Now, here is the most awesome thing about these button covers. They are done in blended tri-gold. Something that is very difficult to accomplish by hand. We have yellow, rose (somewhat pink) and white with a maze decoration. They weigh approximately 7 grams and are 15mm in diameter. They are solid gold. Please note that I've tried these on several buttons and they fit on most but not all; so please keep that in mind. Some, like the Gap and Banana Republic uses slightly larger shirt buttons that others do not, this is one example of when they may not fit; However, I'm sure you will be pleased to wear them on all your dress shirts that are standard sized buttons. In one of my pictures, you can see the cover over the button which has already closed up the sleeve. These really cannot disappoint, they are stunning, historical, and at a very attractive price. They still sell these today bearing the old Torrini trademark (same as on these) seen here: Torrini

Here we have a very nice ca. 1960, two large (25mm wide) matching gold filled hand cut glass, with silver overlay, Intaglio cufflinks. In addition, this is a set that also has its original tie tack and hold bar. There is no doubt that these are made for a large sized man or for someone that wants to make a statement, 25mm is larger than an average cufflink size. The patent on the cufflinks refer to the method and style of the construction, which was filed in 1956 and published in 1961. These are dressy and have very little wear noted. This is a nice high-end set that you won't be finding at your local department store; unless you have a time machine. And if you have a time machine, please call me because I'd like to buy it.
Vintage 1950's Hand Carved Stone Intaglio Cufflinks in Yellow Gold Filled Setting
$90.00
$85.00
These are a very handsome set of cufflinks. The Intaglios are carved out of a black stone by hand. The stone appears to by onyx; although I cannot guarantee, it also may be a dark soapstone or other type of softer stone in which there are many varieties - but it is stone. The carvings are very well done with the tradition of one warrior being different than the other - look closely. They measure 23mm (larger than average) and have an ellagant celtic design. These are a fairly "under the radar" type of cufflinks since the carving is the same color as the rest of the stone.
Vintage 1940's 10k Yellow Gold Filled Hand Carved Carnelian Intaglio Soldier Cufflinks
$100.00
$90.00
These are real stunning and fine Carnelian Stone (red with strong undertones of yellow) hand carved by a very professional carver. We came to this conclusion upon careful examination of the carvings. They are very well done! These would have been in a fine jewelry store vintage 1940's. The Intaglio style Soldiers have really great lines and handsome profiles. They are classically done with a 3/4" wide rounded square appearance that will never go out of style. These would make a great milestone gift for someone special or for yourself. This sale is for the pair of cufflinks only, no other items in the photos are included.
Awesome Early Hand Forged Silver Cufflinks Vintage 1930's
$125.00
$95.00
These early cufflinks are done in a modernist style and are likely one of a kind. I've certainly have not seen these cufflinks before, nor some of the design elements, with dates them closer to the 1930's; possible the 20's. For the person that prefers antique hand made vs. vintage production pieces, these are a great fit. They developed a very nice silver patina, indicating there is more silver in the alloy than probably any other metal. These are hard to find, and with places like Tiffany's asking several hundreds for production sterling silver - these are quite the deal, as are many vintage or antique cufflinks.

Fantastic 1950's Gold Filled Carnelian Carved Intaglio Warriors Vintage Cufflinks
$49.95
These are very nice quality round vintage cufflinks, featuring carved carnelian (nice bright red color) with the artist depicting 2 different warriors, which is very classic during this era and all the way back to the 1800's. The cufflinks are a large size, at about 25mm in diameter, these won't slip out of your cuff, that's for sure. These cufflinks also features the preferred reverse hinged attachment; as well as a beautiful rope design along the edge. There is very little wear showing under 10x magnification on these 60+ year old vintage men's accessory; and we cannot see any wear to the naked eye.
From the late 1800s, these are very rare and very fine hand carved solid 10k gold cufflinks. I believe the material used for the carvings is carnelian, a semi-precious gem stone. The woman depicted in the carving remind me of lady liberty; either way, they are beautifully done and come in their original box. One thing is for sure, once they are sold, you'll never see another set like this!
