This is a classic pair of Edwardian 14K yellow gold and mother of pearl double-sided cufflinks by Krementz, c. 1910. They measure 11/16" x 1/2" and are in excellent condition. The 14k gold connectors are fully signed 14k together with the Krementz mark. They are finely crafted as one would expect of early Krementz and have perfectly matched, concave faces that catch the light beautifully (note the picture shows one side of each cufflink slightly darker - these are shadows only).

This is a gorgeous sterling silver and topaz necklace with matching sterling clipback earrings by Borje Rajalin, Finland, c. 1961. Rajalin studied at the Institute of Industrial Arts in Helsinki. He owned his own design studio from 1956 and designed for Kalevala Koru. He won a gold medal at the 1960 Milan Triennial and is known for simple designs that accentuate the semiprecious stones he used. The necklace consists of a champagne colored gem quality faceted topaz with an estimated weight of about 53 carats set in sterling silver that hangs from a fine sterling chain. The pendant measures 7/8" x 7/8" x 5/8" and bears marks for 935 silver (higher than sterling), Helsinki, 1961 and maker's mark "BR". The earrings mirror the banding used in the setting for the pendant and they measure 3/4" x 7/16" and are simply marked "916H" (i.e. 935 silver). All pieces are in really excellent condition. See my other items for the matching bracelet.
