Description
Best Way to describe this cufflink/shirt Stud set is truly a
work of art/craftmanship that you don't find anymore.
Aside from the obvious spectacular original checkerboard pattern
of the cufflinks and shirt studs, look at the detailed workmanship on every
angle. The fine diamond pattern behind on the back of the cufflinks, WOW. The
.750 markings indicating that the set is 18 Karat gold.
The cufflinks measure ~13mm in diameter, while the shirt studs
are 8.5mm. Total weight of the set is ~18.5 gms. We estimate the set to contain
about 6 carats of blue Ceylon sapphire, and 0.50 carats of clean white
diamonds
The sapphires match beautifully and so do the diamonds.
