vintage cufflinks tie clip modern mid-century offered by Vintage Men’s Swag SF-1

With one of the most interesting designs I’ve seen, this set of cufflinks and tie clip are both elegant and unique!

The shaped silvertone mounts are somewhat futuristic, in a 1950s kind of way. They support oval blue stones, most likely of a man-made material. They are a elegant accessory for your wardrobe!

CONDITION GUIDE FOR MY DESCRIPTIONS: Perfect/New/Mint in Box: The item and or piece of jewelry has no visible flaws and no signs of wear or use. Excellent: The item and or piece of jewelry has evidence of wear. Very Good: The item and or piece of jewelry has small flaws that are not usually noticeable during wear. These flaws could include light scratches on the surfaces of imitation pearls, light scuffs on rhinestones, or light marks on the metal’s finish. Good: The item and or piece of jewelry is completely wearable with working hardware. However, the rhinestones may be yellowing or beginning to turn gray (dark spots are visible when you are looking into the stone). Wear may be more visible, and there may be light chipping. Fair/Poor: The item and or piece of jewelry has visible damage that may include dark stones, missing stones, or broken parts. This item should be considered for repair or restoration purposes only.

REMEMBER: You are buying a vintage item. Even for items I indicate are in ‘perfect/mint/new/Mint in box, there still may be some minor scratches or other issues when the item is examined very closely. Most items in my shop are 40 to 60 years old, with many even older. They will have some ‘acquired character’. Also, even if I indicate the original box is present, the condition of that box may not be very good, particularly the exterior.

PHOTOS: I try to get sufficient pictures, of good quality, that allow you to see the details, construction, condition, and color of the items I list. However, with gold tone and silver tone items, by their very nature, it is difficult to capture the ‘exact shade’ of their color. Compounding that issue is the difficulty of photographing certain rhinestones and crystals. Many will flash a variety of colors or have a luminesce that is hard to capture.  In those cases, I try to indicate that in my description.
