Gold and Diamond CufflinksVictorian Elegance! |
An elegant pair of cufflinks beautifully crafted in 14kt gold and set with small diamonds. These elongated octagonal cufflinks are nicely designed with hand-engraved scrolls along the shorter sides. They date from around 1890.
The cufflinks are extremely well constructed. The elegant tops are attached to bean-shape backs with sturdy "Y" bridges. A small gold ball is set at the base of the "Y" to stabilize and strengthen the bridge. The attention to details of the Victorian jeweler is amazing.
These cufflinks were made by Alling & Co., a maker of fine jewelry during the Victorian and Edwardian eras (1840 to 1915). The maker's mark for Alling & Co. (a three-leaf clover encircling "14" and "A") is visible on the bridge of one of the cufflinks.
