A classic pair of vintage 1950s 60s handmade sterling silver and 8K rose gold Greek Male in profile Adonis figure design cufflinks by Swank and from their Arts of the World line, this entry being from Greece (and marked so), and in the original box. Really beautiful classical male in profile design, each cufflink is different though similar (and this is of course part of the design), in such great condition with just a bit of tarnish to the silver, and in the original Swank box! So rare to find all of this together, a real collector dream! Each cufflink measures 1-1/8" diameter, and the set weighs 23.4 grams total. The 8K rose gold figures at center are no doubt what is called gold-overlay which is a thin layer (thicker than plating, closer to a thin foil) that is laid over the underlying solid sterling base. Marked inside the box as shown, "Swank Arts of the World". The cufflinks are marked "Hand Made in Greece" and "Sterling 8K Gold". The box is in great shape with just faint signs of wear as shown, the cufflinks look nearly like new from the fronts, but the backs shown some wear to the oxidation given to the silver at back. This of course can be easily re-added to the backs if you care to with a simple 'liver of sulphur' solution applied with a small paint brush. I've left them exactly as found. The gold-plated solid sterling silver swivelbacks are also marked "Sterling" as well. Excellent vintage condition.

Pair of silver and gold cufflinks from Greece circa 1960 in the style of the ancient Greeks.
