Blue Rhinestone Cufflinks Appraisal

Art Deco Style Cufflinks with Blue Rhinestones

This pair of cufflinks features a distinct Art Deco-inspired design. Each cufflink is rectangular or slightly elongated in shape, crafted from a silver-toned metal, possibly rhodium-plated base metal or sterling silver, although specific material cannot be confirmed from the image. The surface of each cufflink is highly decorative, characterized by an openwork, geometric pattern that is characteristic of the Art Deco period. Small, clear rhinestones are individually set within the framework of this design, adding sparkle and intricate detailing. At the center of each cufflink is a prominent, square-cut, deep blue rhinestone, which serves as a focal point and provides a striking color contrast against the silver-toned metal and clear rhinestones. The blue stones appear to be faceted, enhancing their brilliance. The reverse side of the cufflinks, visible on one of the items, shows a standard, hinged 'whale back' or similar mechanism common for cufflinks, suggesting they are designed for secure attachment to shirt cuffs. The overall condition appears to be good with some visible wear consistent with use, such as minor scratches or slight tarnishing that would be expected on vintage or pre-owned jewelry. No obvious major damage, missing stones, or significant repairs are discernible from the provided images. The craftsmanship, while appearing mass-produced rather than handcrafted, demonstrates attention to detail in the stone setting and metalwork, indicative of a quality piece from its era. The style suggests an estimated age from the 1920s to 1940s, or a more contemporary reproduction in that vintage aesthetic.
