Vintage Retro Ametrine and 18k Gold Cufflinks

Ametrine is a very interesting stone. Half Citrine and half Amethyst, these stones are created by different states of oxidation of iron within the stone. This is caused by a differential of temperature across the crystal while it's forming. Much of the modern Ametrine you see today is synthetic, a process perfected in Russia in 1994.

These cufflinks are not marked but test as 18 karat gold. I purchased them in Paris and suspect them to be of European dissent, made in about 1950-1960 in the chunky post-war Retro style. They weigh 20.2 grams.

Please note that all items listed as silver or gold are either marked (in which case there will be a photo clearly showing the mark) or have been acid tested by me to verify their metal content. Please also note that there is a size photo showing the size of all items (ring show American ring sizes, photo grid is in inches). Thanks!

Please note that in general I do not clean or polish any items before photographing them. I will certainly have my jeweler clean all appropriate items before they are sent out (some items should not be cleaned and I will note this upon purchase). Also, sizing is available on most rings unless otherwise noted. There is a nominal charge and it will add about a day to when the order goes out (sizing is included in any purchase over $2,500). Please inquire if you would like your ring sized.
