Vintage 18k Yellow Gold and Steel Cufflinks by Cartier Circa 1980
Located in Jesmond, Newcastle Upon Tyne
An exceptional, fine and impressive pair of vintage 1980s Cartier cufflinks in 18 karat yellow gold and steel; part of our diverse vintage cufflink collections. These exceptional, fine and impressive vintage cufflinks have been crafted in 18k yellow gold and steel. The tapering, rounded anterior links are encompassed with alternating strands of yellow gold and steel, creating a threaded appearance; the yellow gold portions are subtly elevated. The steel posterior links have an oval cylindrical form with tapering terminals. The cufflinks articulate to the reverse via a yellow gold five link chain, securing to the posterior link with a yellow gold collar design. The reverse of the anterior links are each signed 'Cartier' and include the serial number 417320, and the reverse link incorporates the design name 'Cretacia'. These vintage Cartier cufflinks have been independently tested using state of the art technology (Niton XL2 Analyzer) and verified as 18 karat gold and steel. Condition These impressive vintage cufflinks are superior quality as to be expected from this maker. The cufflinks are a superior gauge of gold and steel, and are in excellent condition.

Diamond Rings, Luxury Watches and Other Antique and Vintage Fine Jewelry and Estate Jewelry on 1stDibs

Our love for diamond rings, luxury watches and other antique and vintage fine jewelry and estate jewelry goes back thousands of years.

Jewelry has long been a symbol of spiritual strength, wealth or power and, of course, a means of personal expression. While materials and processes employed by the world’s most popular jewelry housesTiffany & Co., Cartier, BVLGARI and others — have evolved over time, humans still gravitate toward many of the same accessories that our ancestors wore.

Ancient Egyptians were often hard at work designing jewelry and adorning themselves with an array of necklaces, rings and other items, and nearly every Egyptian, rich or poor, was buried with some kind of jewelry. When King Tut’s burial chamber was excavated, it revealed a sense of style that inspired Art Deco jewelry designs.

Brooches and pins remain essentials in our jewelry boxes, although we no longer require them to fasten our garments, as was once their primary use. Rings, which have always been signifiers of eternity, still serve as romantic gifts and tokens of affection. Engagement rings are still widely recognized as symbols of love and commitment — and as it can be difficult to choose the right one, explore our buying guides for a close look at antique engagement ringsArt Deco engagement rings and vintage engagement rings. [Fun fact: It wasn’t until the 14th century that we learned how to effectively cut diamonds, a critical step in revealing the stone’s brilliance.]

Hoop earrings are imbued with symbolism and cultural significance for many, and on view in the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Ancient Near Eastern Art Gallery is a pair of simple gold hoops from Mesopotamia dating to between 2600 and 2500 B.C. We’ve even created our own new, sacred symbols — the Cartier Love bracelet, for example, with its distinctive locking mechanism, is an understated and modernist symbol of love’s promise (with its own captivating history to boot). And, crafted by French jeweler Jacques Arpels of Van Cleef & Arpels, the Magic Alhambra necklace channels luck for the wearer with its universally adored design, which is informed by four-leaf clovers, a plant synonymous with good fortune.

Whether it’s our sentimental charm jewelry, costume jewelry, chunky retro bracelets or minimalist earrings created by the likes of contemporary designers WHITE/SPACE and Agmes, luxurious jewels can elevate any outfit, regardless of your personal style.

Find a wide-ranging collection of authentic antique, new and vintage jewelry today on 1stDibs.
