Superb Pair 18k Gold Silver & Diamond Nautical Sailing Ship Wheel Cufflinks
Presented is a fantastic pair of 18 karat gold, silver and diamond cufflinks.
The cufflinks are done in a nautical theme, with one side of each cufflink done
as a ship's wheel and the other side being a sailing ship. The cufflinks have a
dark oxidized finish, which is quite appealing. The cufflinks are set with
sparkling diamonds, 46 per cufflink, which really shine against the dark
oxidization.
The cufflinks are in great condition. All the diamonds are intact. The metal
is deeply oxidized, giving it a dark antiqued look, which we think looks
wonderful and have left intact. However it would be easy to clean up the
cufflinks to a more shiny appearance. There are no breaks and no repairs.
The cufflinks are not stamped or hallmarked anywhere that we could find.
However, we have tested them with nitric acid and determined that the majority
of each piece is 18 karat gold over silver, with some portions, such as the
knobs on the wheel and the connecting links being solid 18 karat gold.
The wheel side of the cufflink is about half an inch in diameter. The ship
side measures about 5/8 of an inch from top to bottom.
The total weight for the pair is 4.6 grams.
