Swiss jeweler Vacheron et .Constantin is best known for its very high-end watches but they also produce jewelry for men such as cufflinks, studs, wristbands and belt buckles. Here is one of their designs from the 1950's a pair of cufflinks shaped like stirrups, made in 18 carat gold with a sculpted motif on the outside. The clasp in each link is operated open and closed by a spring hidden in the flat part of each stirrup (photos 3, 6, 7). The total gold weight of the pair is about 11 grams, just over 1/3 ounce. Each piece is hallmarked. The marks are difficult to photograph in a legible size but they are guessable in photos 6 and 7. The cufflinks are in their original grey suedine box (photos 1 and 6) inscribed inside "Vacheron et Constantin Genève". The box itself is very frayed and dirty (probably cleanable...) but the cufflinks are in superb condition. No Shipping between August 15 and 31. If payment is received after August 14, shipping will be on September 1st.
