Aren't these swank?I have no use for cufflinks personally, unless I start wearing men's shirts (a neat possibility come to think of it, style a la Sharon Stone).
But I had to buy these bejeweled cufflinks when I found them in the case of my fave thrift shop, Stretch Thrift.
They're by Swank, an American company that started in the late 1930s making and selling cufflinks for the masses.
I just love that I found them in the original box!I found Swank cufflinks listed on Ebay for about $40, though not sure if they're selling for that. A pal at the Toronto Vintage Costume Jewellery Club I just joined said they sell for between $15-$30.
Wonder if mine are worth more with the box?
It may be hard to tell but the cufflinks are multi-faceted and multi-coloured glass - sp pretty.
Maybe I'll find a stylish metrosexual man to put them on. Hee hee.
Cool cuff links. They remind me of my Dad. He had lots of cuff links. I think my brother has most of them.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely would be a reason to start wearing french-cuffs whether you are a man or a woman. I have a few pairs that were my Mum's in the early 60's and I will have to ask her what she did with my late Father's collection. Too bad I don't usually find french-cuffed men's shirts for my husband when I am in my favourite thrift stores.
ReplyDeleteI love those cuff links! Imagine them on George Clooney?? ;) LOL!! Great find!
ReplyDeleteI really do love that they are in their original box. Their logo is so cool. I have come across their jewelry before but the makes just makes it that much more special.
ReplyDeleteLinda, I wonder if they're in style again for men? My recent ex wears them all the time - I love the look. Too bad he missed out on these ones!
ReplyDeleteJenifir, I think I'm going to be on the lookout for a shirt with French cuffs in the thrift stores. It's a look I've always admired. I wonder why women don't do the look more often? Hey Annie Lennox di the man's look so well!
ReplyDeletehalfdozendaily, I am seeing them on Clooney and other hunky classy men, for sure! Good old fashioned Hollywood glam!
ReplyDeleteApron Thrift Girl, I know, I'm so thrilled about the box! It's so retro looking isn't it?
