Vintage Gold-Tone Crested Cufflinks or Buttons

A pair of gold-tone heraldic-style items, likely cufflinks or decorative uniform blazer buttons. Each piece features a highly detailed, relief-cast design consisting of a central 'U' or 'J' hooked motif entwined with a bundle of wheat or fasces-like element, topped with a stylized crossed-instrument or anchor component. The central emblem is flanked by two small inset clear stones, possibly rhinestones or crystals, which add a subtle sparkle to the center. The entire assemblage is bordered by a laurel wreath and crowned at the top with a five-pointed coronet. The construction appears to be a metal alloy with a matte gold plating or gilding, showing some aged patina and minor surface wear consistent with mid-20th-century costume jewelry or military-inspired fashion accessories. The craftsmanship demonstrates sharp casting detail in the laurel leaves and the crown. There are no visible maker's marks on the face; however, the overall aesthetic suggests a European influence, possibly Italian or French, from the 1950s to 1970s. The condition is generally good with no missing stones, though there is slight dulling of the gold finish in recessed areas.
