Elegant Art Deco Cufflinks
Festive Garlands |
| Festive garlands decorate yellow gold centers
surrounded by white gold borders embellished with classical
anthemia and maze-like designs. These elegant cufflinks
were created by Jacob Hookaylo in 14kt white and yellow gold,
circa 1925.
 The care and craftsmanship with which the Hookaylo workshop created cufflinks can be seen on the reverse. Note the strong wing-form bridges and sturdy brackets that secure these cufflinks on the cuff. The backs are polished to a mirror-like finish - please excuse the shadowy reflections from the camera.
 One side of the bridges is stamped with an "H" inside a horizontal lozenge, the maker's mark of Jacob Hookaylo. The opposite side is stamped with "14K" indicating the purity of the gold. Hookaylo was a Russian emigre who created fine jewelry in Newark, New Jersey during the 1920s and 1930s. His cufflinks are beautiful, miniature icons of Art Deco style and elegance.
