Description

Tourmaline is a gemstone that is able to captivate with its diverse play of colours. Almost all colours occur, from blue to yellow, pink and green. The name tourmaline comes from the Sinhalese word thuramali (තුරමලි) or thoramalli (තෝරමල්ලි), which was generally used for colourful gemstones found in Sri Lanka. The name was first documented in Europe in 1707 and in 1711 under the name Chrysolithus Turmale. Larger quantities were not exported from Sri Lanka to Europe until the middle of the 18th century. At this time, the Dutch East India Company had a virtual monopoly on the trade in tourmalines. Two of these special gemstones are also presented in this pair of stylish cufflinks. The oval shape of the cabochon-cut tourmalines determines the shape of the showpieces. Two bars lead to practical hinged toggles that make it easy to put on the cufflinks. The cufflinks, which were created around 1990, are beautifully preserved. The high-quality pair impresses with its voluminous yet tasteful design, which creates a beautiful eye-catcher on the shirt, and last but not least with its luxurious weight of more than 22 grams.

The first years of the young Federal Republic experienced a previously unseen increase in wealth and quality of life with the economic miracle. After the worries of the war years, the store windows shone with new luxury, and jewellery and watches also served to visibly display the new joie de vivre to the outside world. The style of the jewellery of these years was often based on late Art Deco, as it had been developed since the 1920s and continued to determine the designs of the major goldsmith companies, especially in the USA and France: rich decoration, clear geometries and an exuberant sparkle of high-quality gemstones defined the image.
