Sterling Enamel Japan Rose Tulip Flower Cufflinks EUC Silver Dots Vtg Cloisonne
SPECTACULAR
Cufflinks in
EXCELLENT CONDITION
with a beautiful Still Life in miniature, capturing glorious Rose or Tulip flowers in absolutely Amazing Colors of Enamel.  These great vintage cuff links are WORKS OF ART and look like paintings.  Despite the small scale of his "canvas," the artist managed to convey a wealth of detail, with great economy of line.  The  colors are indescribably beautiful and are so vibrant, the flowers almost seem to come alive.  Set against a white background so they stand out sharply, the elegantly tapering leaves are in two shades of green and the lush flower blossoms and buds are in an incredible shade of luminous bright red enamel, with a metallic sheen that is really interesting as it catches fire with movement in the play of light and shadow.  They are so much better looking in person than in the poor photos which, despite multiple attempts, are totally inadequate to convey their beauty.
Sensual and curving; graceful and flowing with voluptuous petals, t
hese flowers almost
seem to have personality.  While the scene "reads" perfectly from a distance, the links really reward close examination under magnification, where you can admire the details.
The backs of the cufflinks are wonderful too: elliptical in shape and studded with silver dots.
The fronts are bulging squares that measure a little over 5/8" across and the backs measure just under 7/8" by a little over 1/4".  The fronts are signed "Silver" on the reverse
and are likely 950 silver, a higher grade than our sterling, since they are Japanese.  (Next to last photo.)
The cufflinks are in Excellent vintage condition, showing nothing more than expected light wear: scratches, dirt and tarnish.  There are also the usual minor manufacturing imperfections, including bubbles, light pitting or depressions and a few dark spots.  Absolutely nothing of consequence and the links are truly Fabulous!  They have a wonderful, evenly dark vintage patina that comes only with time; cleaning and polishing are left to the buyer's discretion.
This striking pair of double sided cufflinks in glorious shades of enamel would make a terrific gift, although I doubt you will want to part with them, and will come to you in a gift box, just in case.  A wearable still life work of art, this is an
outstanding
pair of sterling and enamel flower cuff links in sensational colors and excellent vintage condition to add to your collection!
