Belle Epoque 18ct Gold & Diamond Set Oval Cufflinks

A beautiful pair of 18ct75% pure gold (or 750 parts pure gold and 250 parts other metals) gold oval cufflinks set with a good bright white diamondA precious, lustrous gemstone made of highly compressed carbon. Diamonds are one of the hardest materials known to mankind. Colours of diamonds range from colourless, yellow, orange and brown to almost black. Natural coloured (or ‘fancy’) diamonds can be extremely rare. The cut, colour, clarity and carat weight of a diamond are the criteria jewellers use… in each one. They were most likely made in Austria and exported to France circa 1900-1910. This is proved by the “owl” mark which the French used since 1893 to check the importation and to guarantee that they were 18ct gold. They are a finely pierced design with scrolls and florets.
