Antique Victorian Essex Crystal Gold Shorthorn Bull Cufflink Tie Clip Set
About the Item
Reverse carved crystal was a technique created by cutting pieces of rock quartz crystal into a convex form and then polishing it into a cabochon shape. An image is carved into the flat side of the crystal and then hand painted. From the front, the picture appears to be almost three-dimensional. Many different images were used in reverse carved crystal jewelry and artwork but animals were some of the most common used.
A fabulous reverse carved crystal mens' set from the late Victorian (ca1900) era! With a very unusual motif, this mens' set is comprised of a pair of cufflinks and a tie clip. Made of 14kt yellow gold, each piece depicts a hand painted picture of a shorthorned bull. Each painting was done on the reverse carved crystal and has a mother of pearl background. The images are highly detailed with textured milky white hair, an intricate face and long yellow grass. The tie clip is featured atop a 14kt gold bar that slides onto a tie to secure it into place. Each cufflink is backed in 14kt gold and has a flat gold disk back with a connecting bar link. The disk side of the cufflinks have been engraved with the initials: "F.J.B.". The back of each piece is marked "14K". This stunning set would look beautiful worn as a set or individually and would make a perfect addition to any collection!
The tie clip measures approximately 2 3/8" wide and 5/8" tall and the reverse carved quartz crystal measures approximately 5/8" in diameter and is 1/4" thick. The diameter of the rock quartz crystal's on the cufflinks also measure approximately 5/8".

- Cufflinks English Victorian Essex CrystalLocated in Southbury, CTCarved crystal cabochons are painted on the reverse to portray two little black and white terriers. Perhaps the only thing more wonderful in the world than a pair of carved crystal cufflinks from England depicting man's best friend is a pair of carved crystal cufflinks from England depicting man's best friend in a beastly mood. Which is why I laugh every time I look at these cufflinks. From a distance, they're quite sophisticated. Perfectly appropriate for a weekend at Balmoral, should you ever receive an invitation. Only upon closer inspection can you see the tiny little frowns on each dog's face. In addition, the eyes look wide open in shock or alarm, as if the food bowl has inexplicably levitated from the floor and is now hovering above the refrigerator, entirely out of reach. The crystals have a diameter of approximately 15.66 mm and the gold toggles 25.64 mm long by 5.96 mm at their widest point, so these cufflinks should fit a range of different-sized holes. I live with three dogs myself so I am admittedly biased, but these antique English cufflinks are, I think, maybe the greatest pair of cufflinks ever created. They even come in their original box. Made near 1860, the cufflinks are hallmarked "WJH." The 18K metal fineness mark and other assay marks are less legible. The fact that these cufflinks have remained with their original and quite clever (you'll see when you remove the 'links) case is surely one of the reasons they are in such fine condition. I have passed on so many pairs of canine and equestrian-themed Essex crystal...Category
