Vintage Reverse Carved Crystal Deer Cufflinks of 14k Gold

A handsome pair of reverse painted crystal deer cufflinks (circa 1930–1940), showcasing the extraordinary artistry of reverse carved intaglios. Each crystal is meticulously hand-painted in remarkable detail, with subtle differences in expression and stance that give each stag a lifelike individuality. The intaglios are backed with mother-of-pearl, enhancing the dimensionality and adding a luminous, dramatic effect.

Crafted in 14k gold (marked), this pair features one vertical and one horizontal composition, each depicting a proud male deer or buck. The faces measure 0.5 inches by 0.6 inches, a refined size with just the right presence at the cuff. The gold content has been verified through XRF (x-ray fluorescence) analysis and traditional jeweler’s acid testing, ensuring purity and authenticity.

In excellent condition, these cufflinks are a rare example of early 20th-century craftsmanship, blending sporting elegance with collector-level artistry—an ideal addition for those who appreciate finely detailed reverse intaglio jewels.

Materials: 14k gold, mother of pearl.
