1970s Van Cleef and Arpels Rope Twist Spring Bar Cufflinks in 18ct Yellow Gold

The house was as its peak when it was owned and run by the founding family, from 1896 to 1999. These tactile rope twist cufflinks glow in richly polished warm 18ct yellow gold. Signed, hallmarked and numbered they date to the 1970s, when bold gold jewels became hugely fashionable among the famous jewellers of the Place Vendome in Paris. One of the most respected names in the jewellery world the House of Van Cleef & Arpels has been at the forefront of jewellery design for well over one hundred years. The reputation of the House was at a particular high point during the 1960s, having created the priceless coronation jewels for the Emperor and Empress of Iran in 1967. With a global network of luxury boutiques augmented by the flagship showrooms in Paris and New York, the House was the only destination for the most famous and wealthy personages in the world. The very best designs are truly timeless, and the bold style of these cufflinks makes them highly collectible and coveted today.
