Cufflinks Platinum, Essex Crystal, Fine Reverse Painting under Rock Crystal

About the Item

Cufflinks with Essex Crystals, these cufflinks are of finely painted dogs on mother of pearl and placed under Rock Crystal, these cufflinks are platinum with platinum dog bone elements as the other side of the paintings. Rarely do we find such well executed pieces and in platinum. 24 mm round. Cufflinks are generally worn by men - except in the 19th century when they were also worn by women. For a jeweled decoration, cufflinks have always been a popular accessory. Cufflinks have a fair amount of complexity in terms of criteria for selection. Here are a quick dozen reasons from which men pick 1 or 2 as the reasons for favoring a pair of cufflinks. -overall size, -weight, -type of gemstone -how the cufflink looks against solid color background presented by the cuff, and -the personality offered by the motif of the cufflink -the distance or "throw" of a cufflink as between its back and its front. This criteria has a lot to do with whether or not the gentleman has a large or a small wrist size -certainly the color or type of material - gold, platinum, silver, wood stainless steel, and carved stones, -the time period - "I'm Edwardian", "Just call me Deco", "I wouldn't touch Victorian, but I adore Georgian" "Nothing but Belle Epoch for me", etc., -whether or not the cufflinks are signed -ease of application and removal -and as women would always judge - how a cufflink would "go with" a particular set of shirts, sport coats or suits, and -who gave them to him! Today, a preponderance of jewelry is machine made in large factories around the world with abundant and obvious suspicions as to its enduring qualities using not only inferior stones, but also man made stones and treated stones utilizing artificial substances. Alternatively, these expressive cufflinks in platinum are well executed and an unusual motif.
