Vintage Gold-Tone and Black Enamel Inlay Toggle Cufflinks
This is a matching pair of vintage men's cufflinks featuring a square-shaped face with a geometric, multi-tonal design. The face of each cufflink is divided by a diagonal gold-tone bar. On one side of the bar is a solid dark black enamel or onyx-style inlay, while the opposite side features a decorative scrolled filigree or floral motif in a light silver or white color set against a dark background. The construction appears to be a gold-plated base metal, consistent with mid-century costume jewelry styles from the 1950s to 1970s. The back utilizes a standard 'bullet' or 'toggle' swivel mechanism for closure, which shows slight signs of friction wear and oxidation consistent with age. There are visible surface scratches on the gold-tone borders and minor chips near the edges of the inlay, suggesting frequent previous use. No visible maker’s marks are immediately apparent from the top view, though they may be present on the interior toggle arm. The aesthetic reflects a formal, masculine style often associated with brands like Swank or Hickok from the mid-20th century.
