Victorian 15ct Gold Cabochon Garnet Cufflinks

753N
Written by Olly Gerrish

A lovely pair of 15ct gold cufflinks that were made between 1860-1880 during the Holbeinesque period when cabochon garnets were very popular. Holbeinesque jewellery includes pendants, brooches and earrings in the neo-Renaissance or Renaissance Revival style, and once again became fashionable in the 1860s. The designs are extravagantly opulent with the richness of form and colour which had appealed to the Tudor court in the late 1500s. It was rediscovered by Victorian jewellers reviving a fashion that flourished into the early 1900s. The style is characterised by a large, centrally-placed cabochon gemstone, cameo or intaglio mounted in gold. These cufflinks are typical. The large cabochon garnets have been foiled at the back which gives them luminescence.
