Carrington Arts & Crafts CufflinksArts & Crafts! |
In the early 1900s the Arts & Crafts movement inspired an appreciation of beautifully crafted, elegantly unembellished jewels. These gold cufflinks with a hand hammered finish are a wonderful example. The polished gold surfaces shimmer like sunlight sparkling on a gently rippling pool of water. Created by Carrington & Company in 14kt gold, circa 1900.
The backs of the cufflinks are as well crafted as the fronts. The links are connected with sturdy cross bars and classic Carrington brackets with beveled ends. The maker's mark of Carrington & Company (a "C" surrounding "14" for the purity of the gold) is visible on the cross bar. Carrington & Company was one of the premier makers of fine cufflinks during the first half of the 20th century. Based in Newark, New Jersey, the firm supplied beautiful gold and platinum cufflinks to the finest jewelers of the day. Name: Arts & Crafts!
