Description

Wonderful, brightly shining coloured stones were one of the greatest joys of the 1950s in the field of jewellery creation. In ever new, tasteful combinations, we find the most diverse gemstones combined with each other in pieces of jewellery from this period, whereby arrangements of gold and another colour such as blue, green or violet were usually preferred. Feel free to browse through our "Vintage" category and you will see how many beautiful pieces were designed in this way. The cufflinks presented here are just that: Four wonderful varieties of the mineral quartz are gathered here and form a colourful row. We see one amethyst, one citrine, one rose quartz and one chalcedony in a blue-grey colour. All the gemstones are cut into oval cabochons. Narrow, classically understated frames made of gold-plated silver frame the stones, quite physically but also visually against the fabric of the shirt, and small clasps hold the arrangements together, which can also be combined with each other. The pair of cufflinks is a real focal point on the wrist. They are in perfect condition and ready to wear, they found their way to us here in Berlin.

The forerunners of today's shirts, whose sleeves could be tied with a silk ribbon, were created as early as the 16th century. Although silk cuff bands remained popular until the 19th century, from the time of Louis XIV onwards, cuffs were increasingly fastened with boutons de manchette, i.e. cufflinks, which at that time were typically pairs of colored glass buttons connected by a short chain. In the graduated 18th century, these glass buttons were replaced by elaborately painted pieces or pairs set with precious stones. At this time, cufflinks were very much a luxury item, especially in aristocratic circles. In the first half of the 20th century, cufflinks also reached the height of their popularity among the middle classes and in the last 10 years, cufflinks have experienced a noticeable upswing, as many fashion designers are once again paying more attention to accessories and, fortunately, more shirts are being sewn with cuffs again. Nowadays, cufflinks are one of the few pieces of jewellery that can adorn men. Why not make a fashion statement on your sleeves - a dignified pair of cufflinks made of luxurious material is so much more stylish than plain plastic shirt studs!
