Van Cleef & Arpels Diamond and Platinum Cuff Links
$11,500
Created by Van Cleef & Arpels Paris, these Art Deco platinum and diamond cuff links date from the 1930s. Each square, arched double link is bezel-set with two baguettes in opposing corners, divided by a central channel. Sleek and subtle with their white and gray palette, these cufflinks’ slanted platinum planes and mirrored diamond reflections create a visually compelling statement of the late Art Deco aesthetic.
