JAGUAR Gold-Filled Men's Cufflinks in Hand-Turned Solid Lidded Box hot ~ Vintage MCM x 2 PAIRS :))
From my personal hot collections of Mid-Century Modern jewelry AND hand-made wood crafts ;))
2 PAIRS Vintage JAGUAR GOLD-FILLED Men's Cufflinks and Hand-Made Lidded Trinket Box
Circa 1960's ~ cufflinks
Circa 1980's? ~ trinket box
Handsome cufflinks where the brown tiger's eye stones and the black/white banded agate stones command the wearer's & observer's eye, not the surrounding, gold-filled setting
Beautifully matched stones, in both pairs, especially the banded agate which also evokes the Art Deco aesthetic
The tiger's eye stones exhibit strong chatoyance in the lighter bands ~ NO chips, NO cracks to any of the stones :))
The banded agate cufflinks measure ~1-3/8" long x ~1/2" wide x ~3/16" in profile
Weight of 12.3 grams/pair
Hallmarked on back of each cufflink (photo #5) & 12/20G.F.Pat.2,472,958 on the backside of each toggle
The tiger's eye cufflinks measure ~1" long x ~3/4" wide x ~3/8" in profile
Weight of 18.0 grams/pair
Hallmarked on back of each cufflink (photo #6) & 12/20G.F.PAT.2,472,958 on the backside of each toggle
The one cufflink's toggle leans off-center, showing some metal/finish wear at the joint of the toggle to the cufflink face (see very last photo), but is strong & secure and does not affect wearability
The lidded, footed trinket box is made of a solid, spalted wood (Maple?), measuring ~5-1/4" tall (w/lid on) x ~4-1/8" in diameter, at the widest; inside storage measuring ~1-5/8" deep x ~3-1/4" diameter ~ Weighs 7.8 oz.
Hand-written signature on footing bottom: Le Blanc Crafts Cheticamp N.S. (Canada) . . . NO chips, NO cracks, a beautiful vintage hand-turned piece :))
