Metal test
by: Anonymous

No I haven't tested the metal I have looked to see if there were any markings and found none I'm going to assume its not gold. If we assume it's not gold do they have any significant value I was planning on selling them on e- bay

Circa 1900s mother-of-pearl, pearl cufflinks - French
by: Yvonne Hammouda-Eyre

These cufflinks are not vintage but French Antique Cufflinks.
During the late 1800s - early 1900s Mother-of-Pearl Cufflinks were popular, so were pearls, enamel and minature moasic works. This was the era when French Jewelry Houses such as Cartier and Faberge reigned supreme over the world of masculine elegance and set the standard to be followed. Have you tested the metal?

How the cuff links are connected
by: Anonymous

The cuff links are connected by a oval gold piece which runs tru the eyes on the back side of each cuff link kinda like a key chain. The cuff links are in a small leather exterior box which has a small brass button which when pushed opens the box. The top lid has a silk in appearance material there is writing on it which reads Cave & Cie. RJuclier & Cie Sug pc 11.fs St. Honore PARIS I hope this helps to answer your question . Thank you very much for viewing and your help in identifying what I have

THANK YOU

Is it a Rod Type Cufflink?
by: Yvonne Hammouda-Eyre

Hi Kelly

an important landmark in cuff link development was the rod type cufflink. Working out this will provide dating clues.

This type of cufflink "system" is the most widely used today. It was invented by the Boyer establishment in 1924.

It is made up of a stud linked to a rod that swivels along its whole length between two stems. Could you let us know if it is this type of cufflink? If not describe what you can see? Thank you for the photo of the cufflinks.

Best Regards
Yvonne
