Art Deco Rock Crystal and Rose Cut Diamond Cufflinks, circa 1920

A striking pair of Art Deco cufflinks from the 1920s, each designed with a faceted rock crystal disc suspending a delicate floral cluster of rose cut diamonds and a central pearl. The contrast between crisp geometry and soft detail gives these vintage cufflinks a particularly refined character, while the clear crystal lends them a light, almost icy elegance typical of the period.
