For sale here is a RARE set of vintage 1950s 60s Japanese hand engraved sterling silver and black lacquer cufflinks with matching tie bar and belt buckle in the original box. This technique is the opposite of the damascene technique - here the silver is coated with a black lacquer and the design is cut thru the lacquer into the silver and then coated again with a clear lacquer to prevent the silver from tarnishing. Cufflinks measure 5/8" wide, the tie bar measures 1-3/4" long, the belt buckle measures 2" by 1", and the set weighs 31.9 grams total. Marked "Silver" on all pieces, "Sterling" inside box as shown, and probably the high-purity 950 sterling silver common in Japan. Looks like this set was hardly if ever worn! Excellent vintage condition with fine light wear as shown really nearly like new would make a great gift - please view the photos, read the description, and ask all questions prior to purchase. I am open to reasonable offers from serious buyers.
