Art Deco 14K GOLD Sugar Loaf Red Tiger Eye 2 Sided Cufflinks Fab Vtg Mesmerizing
Wearable sculptures for your cuffs in solid gold and stone!  The red tiger's eye (sometimes called dragon's, ox or bull's eye) stones in these cufflinks are amazingly beautiful and quite painterly.  The sugar loaf-cut of the cabochons really accentuates their rich but ethereal colors and especially, their chatoyance (the optical effect of a band of reflected light, called a cat's eye, moving beneath the surface of a cabochon cut stone).
Bezel-set in wonderfully harmonious, gleaming 14 karat yellow gold, the tiger eye has a satiny sheen and its natural striations and rich earthy shades of reds, golds and greens change dramatically with movement in the play of light.  Not just eye catching, these links are absolutely transfixing!  Interesting and sculptural, with a gentle radiance and magical soft glow, these tiger's eyes will mesmer-eyes on your cuffs!
The tiger's eye is thought to be a powerful stone.  It is said to give its wearer the courage and strength of an ox as well as the confidence and cunning of a tiger.  The red version is both stimulating and calming, helps summon inner strength and increase motivation and determination.  Sometimes referred to as a survival stone, it is considered to have protective and healing qualities in addition to bringing wealth, good luck and clarity of thought.
Just looking at these stones, one knows immediately they are special (and maybe even magical).
Each of these cufflinks is signed on the back of one link, "14K".  (Penultimate photo.)
Well made, the dimensional cufflinks measure about 1/2" diameter by just over 1/4" deep and together, weigh 8.3 grams.
They are in Excellent vintage condition with just expected minor imperfections in the natural stones, light surface scratches, dirt and perhaps slight tarnish, due to age.  They have a lovely gleaming vintage patina; cleaning and polishing are left to the buyer's discretion
.  Please forgive all the reflections, hot spots and blurriness in the photos, which are due to camera distortion and my poor photography skills only.  The links are so much nicer in person!
While the red sugar loaf tiger's eye stones themselves are rather complex, like kaleidoscopes, these 14 karat gold cufflinks are elegantly simple.  Simply elegant, dramatic and powerful, they will look spectacular on your cuffs!  They would make a sensational gift - perfect for anyone who collects gems, healing stones, gold or cufflinks - although I doubt you will want to part with them, and will come to you in a gift box, just in case.  Classic and classy, this is a smashing pair of Art Deco 14 karat yellow gold and red tiger eye cufflinks to add to your collection of quality and distinction!
