| Double Button Mother of Pearl Art Deco Cufflinks |
Perhaps it is due to my starry-eyed nature that I find antique cufflinks so elegant and sentimental! Imagining a well-dressed gentleman with French cuffs embellished with handsome cufflinks conjures up a romantic evening sipping champagne and floating across the dance floor! (I think that only happens in the movies, right?) Additionally, a beautiful and feminine blouse adorned with pretty cufflinks summons images of charming clothing of bygone eras.

| Mother of Pearl Button Cufflinks |
Two of my best-loved eras to discover and collect are the Victorian through the Art Deco Period. The Victorian Era used a button style with tab closure, the Deco Era brought a snapping link style cufflink which was highly popular in the Roaring '20's! In my opinion these antique beauties remain just as stylish and vogue today.

| Victorian Mother of Pearl with Moss Agate Cufflinks |
My favorite cufflink material from the Victorian to the Deco Era include fascinating celluloid and lustrous mother of pearl, especially in the Deco era the two were combined to create a stunning cufflink. Additionally, the Mother of Pearl was carved and inlaid with decorative metal settings or gemstones.

One of my daughter's childhood friends planned a vintage wedding. The groomsmen'a gifts chosen by the bride and her fiancé were a selection of Deco cufflinks with a green celluloid to match their college colors. It was a rewarding experience to provide the cufflinks for their special day!
