"Jewellery has the power to be this one little thing that can make you feel unique" Jennie Kwon
My mission is to bring you my worldly experience alongside my selection of fine quality antique and period jewellery.
A smart cuff link set from the Edwardian period. The cuff links are set with white mother of pearl centres, each centre has been engine turned to create an intricate design on the mother of pearl, a technique used in the early 1900s. The set is comprised of a pair of cuff links, four separate buttons and two smaller collar studs. All the individual pieces are set with a small transitional cut diamond. The diamonds have been milgrained set. The diamonds are lovely quality, F/G in colour and VS1/VS2 in clarity. On the back of the cuff links there are various markings. On one of the backs there is a marking of 585, this would indicate that the gold part of the cuff links are 14ct gold the outer edges of the cuff links are white so this part could be either gold or platinum. There are some other markings 765 and what looks like the initials RI. The initials would be the maker of the cuff links, having a makers initials would be a good indication that the cuff links are very good quality. The 765 I am not entirely sure what this number indicates, again it could be a model number from the maker. The cuff link part of the set are linked by a gold bar that has an opening; this would allow you to take out the link on either side maybe for cleaning. The two studs have a gold clip that would be used when fastening to the shirt. The cuff links are exceptional quality, you can imagine the night of the ball and the wearer getting dressed in a tuxedo and putting on his treasured cuff link set. There are no date marks on the cuff links, but I would say that they’re dated around 1910. The 585 mark for the gold standard would indicate to me that the cuff links are European maybe Dutch or German. The cuff links are in excellent condition. The size of each disc on the cuff link set is 13.9mm.

Other Information
All weights, colour and clarity of diamonds and gemstones have been assessed while mounted in their jewellery, unless certificated by a recognised gem laboratory. The colour and clarity of diamonds and gems are difficult to assess while still in their settings. I have used my experience and knowledge to assess these characteristics to the best of my ability while they are still in their settings, the exact weight, colour and clarity when unset could differ. The setting can hide the weight, colour and clarity. My predictions are an honest and fair assessment that I have used when I have purchased the item/s. All weights, colour and clarity have been predicted using industry wide techniques. When a piece of jewellery does not have any clear hall markings or clear and obvious engravings that will identify the items date, I will assess the article myself for its period and date when it was made. Where every care has been taken to arrive at the exact date of the jewellery it is sometimes difficult to predict the date but fairer to predict the date within a period of manufacture. I use my knowledge, the characteristics of the style of manufacture the style of setting, and the cut of the gemstones when assessing datelines. When dealing with gemstones or periods of jewellery I have worked extremely hard to arrive at the accurate information, by using my experience, knowledge, skill and integrity. When purchasing any item/s from my shop on Ruby Lane you are accepting my methods of predicting the specifications of the gemstones and dateline of the jewellery listed and you the buyer understand that there can be a difference in the characteristics between the diamonds and gemstones that are set in the jewellery and diamonds and gemstones that have been unset.

Item/s that have entered into a layaway agreement can only be exchanged once they have been returned to me within 30 days of purchase. The exchange can only be sanctioned once the item has been checked that it is in the original condition.
