Lovers Knot Cufflinks Appraisal

Red Cameo Cufflinks

This pair of cufflinks features rectangular faces with a red background and a raised cameo design. The cameo appears to be a profile bust, possibly of a classical figure, rendered in white on a black background. The contrast and detailing of the cameo carving are visible, suggesting it could be made from shell, stone, or a composite material. The metal components, including the cufflink findings, appear to be a warm-toned gold or brass. The findings are a standard swivel-bar type, with a rectangular base plate that attaches to the face. The metal shows some signs of age-appropriate wear, such as minor surface scratches and tarnishing, consistent with being worn and handled over time. There are no visible maker's marks or hallmarks on the visible surfaces. The overall design suggests a style common in the mid to late 20th century, possibly influenced by earlier classical cameo motifs. The craftsmanship appears to be of reasonable quality, with the cameo securely set within the metal frame. No major damage or repairs are immediately apparent, although a closer inspection would be needed to confirm this.
