18kt Yellow Gold & Emerald 'Barrel' Shape Cufflinks

This pair of hefty cufflinks have been crafted from 18 karat yellow gold and are set with small emeralds. One side of each cufflink takes the form of a barrel type shape with a ribbed surface and fine gold wire twisted around the edges. To each side of the barrels are a small rub-over set cabochon emerald which have a lovely rich green tone. The alternate ends of the barrels feature a folding 't bar' closure allowing the links to be put on with ease. The pair are unsigned for a maker, however likely originated in the United States in the second half of the 20th Century. In very good vintage condition the pair would be a very lovely addition to a dress shirt or tuxedo.
