Fabergé Friday

Just like last Friday, here comes a Fabergé object that's actually for sale! If you happen to have too much money in you mattress that is... It's a pair of cufflinks, made by workmaster August Hollming, around the year 1890.

Each cufflink consists of two marquise-shaped plaques, covered in ivory enamel. The borders are set with rose-cut diamonds, and they're held together by gold chains. They come in their original box, and are for sale at 1stdibs for the small amount of 151,376 USD...

Today's Fabergé object is a pair of rare cufflinks. They were made by workmaster August Hollming, in 1911!

The cufflinks are shaped like teardrops, and their surfaces are layered with matte finish platinum-silver alloy. They are set with cabochon chrysoprase gems, from which leads a band of rose-cut diamonds. The length of the cufflinks is 3/4'' (1.9 cm), and in 1911 they were bought by Mrs Claude Watney for £14. When they were sold at a Sotheby's auction not long ago, they went for £32,450...

In today's Fabergé post I have something for the men - a pair of cufflinks - made by workmaster Henrik Wigström, sometime between the years 1908 - 1917!

These oval cufflinks are made of gold, and covered in lilac enamel over a guilloché ground.  

The enameled center plaques are set in ribbon-tied reeded gold frames. Each plaque is also decorated by an old cut diamond.

The width of the cufflinks is 3/4'' (1.9 cm), and the price for them is 12,500 USD. If you want them, I'm sorry to say they have already been reserved by someone...
