Onyx and Pearl Cufflinks and Stud Set
Tuxedo Junction! |
|
The first decades of the last century were a time of elegance and sophisticated attire. No gentleman was truly dressed unless his tuxedo or dinner jacket was accented by an elegant pair of cufflinks and matching shirt studs. Often a distinctive dress set was given to a young man at his graduation or by his future bride for their wedding day.
This stylish dress set features a pair of cufflinks (pictured above), four shirt studs and two color buttons. They feature slightly concave onyx tops centered by a small pearl and framed in white gold. The backs of the jewels are 14kt rose gold. We date this dress set to around 1920. Cost: These antique cufflinks have sold, but you will find many more wonderful pairs in our Antique Cufflinks Gallery. 
Complementing the cufflinks, are four shirt studs
.... and a pair of collar buttons.
This elegant dress was made by Krementz & Company. Krementz was founded in 1866 in Newark, New Jersey and is known for the many wonderful small enamel flower brooches the firm made during the late Victorian and Art Nouveau eras. Krementz also made distinctive jewels for men, including cufflinks and dress sets. In fact, the Krementz hallmark was a stylized cuff button.
Here are a few more pairs of elegant and unique cufflinks from the past ....
