Art Deco Eclectic Cufflinks Bright and Elegant |

Eclectic Art Deco cufflinks
with a little bit of everything. The white gold
centers are finely engraved with a pattern of rippling waves
divided by yellow gold bands of pinstripes. The
pinstripes end in white gold terminals with Greek or Chinese
key motifs, all held together by cut-out, yellow gold
borders with concentric circles.
These cufflinks are an elegant
testament to the Art Deco cufflink maker's ability add a lot
of design to a small space. Created by Wordley,
Allsopp & Bliss in 14kt gold circa 1925.
The backs of the cufflinks are crafted in 14kt yellow gold and polished to a mirror-like finish. (Please excuse the shadowy reflections from my camera.) The cufflinks are secured on the cuff with strong "bow tie" cross bars anchored in sturdy brackets.  One side of the cross bars are stamped "WAB" - the maker's mark of Wordley, Allsopp and Bliss. WAB was a maker of fine cufflinks and other jewels during the early decades of the last century, most notably during Art Deco era. Beneath the maker's mark is "14k" for the purity of the gold.

the past ...
