Pierre Cardin Cufflinks and Studs Set

This item is a vintage Pierre Cardin cufflinks and studs set, presented in its original, vibrant red velvet hinged box. The box features an off-white or cream satin-like interior lining on the lid, where the 'pierre cardin' brand name is elegantly printed in black, serif lettering. The lower section of the box consists of an off-white velvet or felt insert, precisely cut with indentations to securely hold the two cufflinks and four shirt studs. Each cufflink is constructed with a gold-tone metal frame and features a prominent, octagonal-shaped, dark green or possibly black stone or enamel inlay. The reverse side of the cufflinks appears to have a standard toggle closure mechanism. The four accompanying shirt studs are smaller, rounder, and also feature a gold-tone setting with a matching dark green or black inlay, consistent with the cufflinks. The gold-tone metal shows a bright, reflective finish, suggesting good preservation or quality plating. There are no obvious signs of significant wear, tarnish, or damage visible on the metal components or the inlays, indicating the set is in good to excellent condition for its age. The velvet outer casing of the box also appears to be well-maintained with no visible crushing or major discoloration. This set likely dates from the mid to late 20th century, a period when Pierre Cardin was highly influential in fashion and accessories, and represents a classic menswear accessory from a reputable designer.
