Art Deco Eclectic Cufflinks Bright and Elegant |
|
Bright 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 dimpled pinstripes. The gold
bands end in white gold terminals with Chinese key motifs,
all held together by cut-out, yellow gold borders of
concentric circles.
These cufflinks are an elegant
testament to the ability of Art Deco cufflink makers to
place a lot of design in a small space. Created by
Wordley, Allsopp & Bliss in 14kt gold circa 1925.
The backs of these cufflinks are crafted in 14kt yellow gold polished to a bright finish. (Please excuse the shadowy reflections from my camera.) The cufflinks are secured on the cuff with strong "bow tie" cross bars anchored with 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 ...
