Striking vintage Swank men's cufflinks dating to the mid-century Atomic Age, featuring a wonderfully sculptural modernist design with polished silver-tone spiral forms surrounding glossy dark gray hematite balls. The combination of geometric metalwork and rounded hematite gives these cufflinks a distinctly Space Age, Atomic Era character that is both sophisticated and playful.
The dimensional design is especially appealing from every angle, with the silver-tone spirals wrapping around the hematite centers like orbital forms. The dark metallic luster of the hematite contrasts beautifully with the bright polished finish of the metal. These are an excellent example of the adventurous modernist men's jewelry designs popular during the 1950s and 1960s.
The cufflinks are marked SWANK and measure approximately 1 inch in length. The swivel-style closures are intact and functional.
Perfect for a collector of vintage men's jewelry, a fan of mid-century modern design, or someone looking for an unusual statement accessory for French cuffs. They would be especially fantastic with a vintage 1950s or 1960s suit.
