Unique 18K Gold and Sterling Cufflinks

June 30, 2008 :: Posted by - adwin :: Category - Vintage Cufflinks

dear reader,

Our AAAC forum friend, Chris wanted me to post this. He went to a local estate sale recently and pounced on a NWT pocket square in wrapping; a lovely irish linen in aqua with black detailing for .50 Then he saw a sterling and 18 K gold chain cufflinks with the gold in a precolumbian mezoamerican symbol and a sun on the inner toggle.

Interestingly, he got those cufflinks at an extremely good deal of $10.00. After which, he proudly wore those links to the local meeting of SOPA; Society of Professional ( and usually unemployed) Archaeologists . Everyone gave them oohs and ahhs. And everyone said ” Oh thats um erm, I forget, was that Aztec or Mayan and I think it’s a coyote, jaquar, otter,bear holding a fish, ground squirrel, Burrito? The one mezoamerican specialist is actually in Peru .

Check out the cufflinks below. What was the figure on the surface? His local jeweler confirmed they are 18 K gold and sterling. Thank you chris for allowing me to post onto my blog.

    Interesting comments on the Irish Linen, if you have an interest in Irish Gifts, you may find this website of interest that sell Irish Cufflinks http://www.irishcoincufflinks.com

    They are made from old Irish coins, that are no longer in circulation, since Ireland switched to the Euro.

    Enjoy.
