![]() Pearl on Mother-of-Pearl Dress Set![]() White on White |
A marriage of mother-of-pearl, pearls and
platinum give the geometric design of this Art Deco dress set a
striking elegance. Uncomplicated lines and simple color
schemes were hallmarks of Art Deco design. Crafted in
platinum and 14kt gold, circa 1930.![]() Complementing the cufflinks are three matching shirt studs in the same elegant design as the cufflinks. The shirt studs are 5/16" along each side and 1 1/16" in length. This dress set was created by L.E. Garrigus & Co., a maker of fine cufflinks and dress sets during the middle years of the 20th century. The firm's gold and platinum jewels were sold by Tiffany & Company and other fine jewelers of the day. ![]() The reverse of the cufflinks and shirt studs are stamped with the maker's mark for L.E. Garrigus & Co., a flowing double-ended scroll. The backs are beautifully crafted in 14kt yellow gold polished to a mirror-like finish - please excuse the dark reflections from my camera. As is characteristic of Garrigus cufflinks, the links are secured on the cuff with sturdy brackets and cross bars.
![]() The Garrigus maker's mark is found just below the "14K" gold purity mark. The backs of the cufflinks and studs are also stamped "PLAT&GOLD" for the precious metals.

As a final touch of elegance the sturdy
cross bars of the cufflinks repeat the
the double-ended scroll of the Garrigus maker's mark. ![]()
