Gold & Coral Cufflinks Art Deco

Carved 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...

A gleaming lipstick red cabochon of natural precious coral is claw-set into a hand-fabricated 18K white gold mounting in this midcentury ring. Three eye-clean and near-colorless diamonds are set on either side like parenthesis and weigh around .35 carats in total. Measuring 22mm x 12mm, the coral is a stunning, evenly-toned vivid lipstick red with the high-gloss polish of a grand piano. This is a bold, impeccably crafted ring is so perfectly chic. This is a pristine cabochon of coral in the most prized color coral is found in and without any trace of a bluish tint. This color and quality of coral is becoming more elusive by the day. The rich red coral you see here comes from coral branches that are close to the surface of the warm waters off the coast of Italy. It's this coral that has been largely over-harvested. As a result, most of the coral must today be brought up from deeper water and it does not possess this intense red color. This is a truly remarkable ring, not merely for its beauty and vintage character but also because of its immaculate condition. This magnificent gem-quality red coral ring with...
