Victorian 15ct Gold Frog Cufflinks

909W
40 Admirers Rare Find
Written by Olly Gerrish

An unusual pair of 15ct gold cufflinks that were made circa 1860-1880. There is a frog in each link with a rope edging around it. Cufflinks such as these are sometimes called ‘Novelty” jewels as the Victorians were fond of animal and insect subjects and designed all sorts of quirky pieces to amuse and wear. Frogs have appeared in jewels over the centuries and have a variety of symbolic meanings from good luck, new life and fertility, wealth and abundance and power and knowledge.

So what a wonderful wedding gift perhaps?
