Vintage Mid-Century Modern sterling silver cufflinks featuring the iconic patented swivel toggle mechanism (Pat. 2472958) — the design invented in 1949 by Brooklyn jeweler Jacob M. Oldak, which became the foundation of the modern cufflink.
Elegant, historic, understated luxe. 20g silver! Think Mad Men, Atomic age design, Eames & Danish modern aesthetics.
Stamped STER / PAT. 2472958, confirming sterling silver and use of the Oldak patent mechanism. Bold stepped stripes and subtle enamel-lined grooves give these cufflinks a strong architectural MCM look — timeless, confident, and quietly sexy. Perfect for him, for her, for them. A great choice for everyday elegance, special occasions, or wedding wear.
Substantial and beautifully made with a gentle curve and satisfying weight. These wear with presence.
