Vintage Gold-Tone Cufflinks and Shirt Studs Set with Rhinestones

This set comprises one pair of cufflinks and three matching shirt studs, often used for formal wear. All pieces appear to be crafted from a gold-toned metal, likely plated brass or a gold alloy, exhibiting a warm yellow hue on the cufflinks and a slightly rosier, possibly copper-toned, hue on the shirt studs. The cufflinks feature a classic toggle-back design, with a fixed bar on one end and a hinged, swiveling bar on the other, allowing them to be secured through shirt cuffs. Each visible face of the cufflinks is adorned with a single, clear, faceted rhinestone, set within a crown-like or claw-prong bezel setting, designed to mimic the sparkle of a diamond. The shirt studs have a similar design, with a single clear rhinestone set in a crown-like bezel on a flat, circular base, which transitions into a crescent-shaped back closure, typical for securing through buttonholes of a dress shirt. The rhinestones on both the cufflinks and studs show good clarity and brilliance for their type. There are no visible maker's marks or distinguishing engravings in the provided images. The overall condition appears good, with minor signs of wear visible, such as slight surface scratching consistent with age and use. There appears to be some patina or perhaps a subtle color variation between the cufflink gold tone and the stud metal tone. The craftsmanship suggests a commercially produced item from the mid-20th century, likely dating from the 1940s to 1960s, reflecting a timeless formal accessory style. The settings for the rhinestones are robust, indicating reasonable quality for costume jewelry.
