Description: Vintage Silver Engine Turned Cufflinks, originating from the mid-20th century, showcase intricate geometric patterns created through precise engine-cut engraving. The "engine turned" technique, also known as guilloché, gained popularity in the 18th century for embellishing various objects and became a hallmark during the Art Deco period.
These cufflinks served as formal accessories, adding sophistication to men's attire during the 1920s-1930s. Crafted from sterling silver for affordability, durability, and malleability, they feature a timeless design that fastens dress shirt cuffs with elegance.
The engine turning process involves a machine creating intricate patterns on metal, and these cufflinks exhibit sterling silver craftsmanship—a high-quality alloy of silver and copper. Their unique design adds a sophisticated touch to any outfit, making them a great collectable for historical menswear enthusiasts.
