Blue and Gold Cufflinks
Midnight Blue! |
|
Elegant cufflinks set with beautiful rich blue gemstones that bring to mind dark night skies with a few wispy clouds illuminated in the moonlight. Known as "sodalite," this gemstone, along with Lapis lazuli, was favored during Art Deco period because of its rich, regal blue color. Created in 14kt gold, circa 1920.
 The backs of the cufflinks are crafted in 14kt gold and polished to a mirror-like finish (please excuse the reflections from my camera). The links are connected with sturdy cross bars and secured with decorative trifid brackets. The closed gold backs help protect the gemstones.
 The maker's mark for Charles Keller & Company is found on each cross bar - an elongated "C" surrounding "14" and followed by the letter "K". Charles Keller & Company were makers of beautifully designed and crafted cufflinks during the early decades of the last century.
