 The backs of the cufflinks and shirt studs are crafted in 14kt yellow gold. Carrington's renowned attention to small details can be seen in the sturdy cross bars and brackets that secure these cufflinks on the cuff, as well as smooth, polished finish the gold. Carrington & Co. was known for elegant designs, impeccable craftsmanship and the use of fine materials. (Please excuse the shadowy reflections in the photograph from the camera.)
 The Carrington maker's mark (a squared "C" enclosing "14") is stamped on the reverse of the cufflinks along with "GOLD & PLAT" for the precious metals. Carrington & Co. was founded in 1900 and created some of the finest tuxedo and dress sets of the first half of the 20th century.
