A very good pair of 18K yellow gold cufflinks by Alfred Dunhill. The faces resemble branches of coral. Dunhill produces the vast majority of its cufflinks in sterling silver and the 18K gold versions are very rare. The coral design, in general, is hard to find because it was made for only a short time around 2005. The cufflinks are constructed with the connector set off-center, so the link lies flat against the cuff...

This impressive copper cuff features a Precolumbian-style face surrounded by two levels of hand-applied copper wirework.

Overall, the cuff has the deep brownish color of aged copper...
