Garnet Cabochon Cufflinks
$2,250
Dating from circa 1890, these English cufflinks are composed of red garnets set in 14K gold. Each double link is designed as a bezel-set oval garnet cabochon within a subtle twisted wire surround, joined by oval links. Modern and forward looking for their time and ours, these bold and streamlined antique cuff links offer a rich flash of deep red for the sleeve.
