Amita Damascene Cufflinks from Kyoto Unusual

The jewelry company from Kyoto, Amita, set the bar high in modern damascene production. Started in 1932, the company's product was aimed at European and American markets. These cufflinks are an excellent and rare example of Amita's early work. Monogrammed with "C.O." the calligraphy reflects the western taste for the revival of the Victorian in the 1930s. They were found sewn to their original presentation card. Virtually new.

The plaque measures .75 x .5 inches and is set in a gilded backing with champfered corners.
