Cufflinks are one of the few pieces of jewellery in the classic men's wardrobe. They first appeared in the second half of the 19th century, when starched shirts became too stiff to be fastened with ordinary buttons; however, numerous forms of cufflinks soon developed, all of which went with the jewelry fashion of their time. The present pair can be dated to the mid-1920s. In a composition so typical of the Art Deco style, opposites meet: slices of black onyx and the white sparkle of the central set diamonds form a wonderful contrast. Due to the style's preference for elegant, geometric shapes, the elements are angular in form. The diamonds are set in concave hollows. Together, the diamonds weigh 0.40 carats. Mounts and short chains made of high-carat gold complete the cufflinks. We acquired the fine pair in England, where it was also made.
