Pair of bar cufflinks in yellow gold and calibré cut sapphires. French assay mark for gold 750/1000 and Master goldsmith “AV”. Cufflinks hand signed “Boucheron Paris” in gothic character and numbered: “28751”.
Accompanied by his original box in chamois leather, satin silk and velvet.
Fresh piece including both Boucheron’s signature, serial numbers and French marks, in a very legible way. Minor chip on one sapphire. Overall good condition.
This model took origin from an art-déco design. Originally the bar was extractable for a better comfort in wearing. Later the idea came up to change the detachable bar in gold with others of different materials, such as malachite, lapis lazuli and coral.
The lapidary work can be here considered as real tour-de-force. Every sapphire has been cut and calibrated for every position it is presumed to assume. The beautifully squared design and the original box, make this piece a very collectible item.
