A playful pair of vintage sterling silver cufflinks dated precisely to 1996, modelled as the four playing card suits. One cufflink combines a polished heart with a three-lobed club, while the other pairs a spade with a diamond-shaped terminal, creating a complete set of hearts, clubs, spades and diamonds across the pair.
Each suit is fully three-dimensional with a smooth, highly polished finish, giving the cufflinks a bold sculptural look and plenty of presence on the cuff. At 17.6 grams, they have a satisfying weight and make an unusual choice for a card player, collector or anyone drawn to distinctive silver accessories.
