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 rigid to fasten with ordinary buttons; but soon numerous forms of the cufflink developed, all of which went with the jewellery fashion of their time. The present pair can be dated to the years around 1920, for it was only then that onyx came into fashion as the main stone even in purely decorative jewels; previously it had been reserved for mourning jewellery. But now, with the advent of modernity, people put aside all reservations about this colour and appreciated it for its classic elegance. Opposites meet here in a timelessly elegant composition. Four cabochons of deep black onyx are framed by a wreath of white diamond roses. The cabochons and the diamonds are set in light platinum. On the back, the buttons and the corresponding chains are made of high-carat yellow gold. The cufflinks are in very good condition and came to us from New York. According to their hallmark, they were made in Paris.
