A pair of 18th-century oval Stuart crystal cufflinks, each set with finely faceted rock crystal protecting exquisitely preserved hairwork, mounted in warm gold; these compact Georgian treasures (1.3 cm by 1.0 cm) exemplify the era’s intimate, sentimental craftsmanship. The delicate hairwork—still remarkably intact beneath the clear, skillfully cut crystals—reflects the period’s practice of memorial and memento jewellery. From the distinguished collection of Jean-Louis Chameroy.
