Thanks Tom. Actually there's no mark on them--but I'll take your word for it.

Now for a trip to the Missing Link for a pair of their loverly British Art Deco ones.

Here are a few links for your viewing pleasure.

Kent was asking about airplane links -- I have the Concorde sterling links (no longer available, I believe...), but I don't have them with me right now. Will try to take a picture of those when I'm back in NYC...

Haha, no I am referring to the black mineraloid worn by Queen Victoria in her mourning dress. Here are my own: Antique Czech glass buttons tie together with elastic thread. The pink ones are small but very secure. I like both a lot. They're somewhere in formality between silk knots and metal links. I'm also selling an odd set.

Silver and enamel with gold flower inlay, probably late thirties

By far the most interesting cufflinks so far, I wonder how that would work with monogrammed ingraving instead of the flower ?

Cross-posted from here.

I've recently bought several pairs of antique cufflinks from an antique shop in Omotesando, Tokyo.

The first photo from top to bottom, left to right are Japanese-made MOP/pearl & silver circa 1950s, 9 kt. pink gold English 1927, 9 kt. yellow gold English 1917. I had also planned to buy an exquisite pair of Japanese Meiji-period tortoise-shell links intricately inlaid with yellow and white gold, but they had been sold out from under me some fifteen minutes before.

Yesterday, I stopped by the same shop and came upon this mint 14 kt. Mikomoto cufflink and stud set all properly hallmarked and in its original box. A catch-as-catch-can impulse purchase.

Very nice all the way around, NR. I won't even ask how much that Mikimoto dress set was. Ouch. Do you have a date on it?

Yes - they're quite typical, as Norwegian goldsmiths often specialised in enamel work. These are from a rather obscure firm, though. Can't remember the hallmark, and I don't have them with me, but I could look it up later.
