Vintage Sterling Silver Enameled Yellow and Blue Striped Byzantine Patterned Cuff Links

Vintage Sterling Silver Enameled Yellow and Blue Striped Byzantine Patterned Cuff Links-
These colorful art deco cuff links would add a pop of color to any shirt sleeve. The enameling has a byzantine pattern under it. Enamel jewelry can be traced back to ancient civilizations like the Egyptians and Greeks, who mixed crushed glass with color agents such as cobalt or copper, then applying it to metals in painstaking details before permanently fusing it with heat. The jewelry they made was spiritual, holding deep symbolism and believing to provide protection. Basse-taille is the enameling technique which adds depth and dimension to enameled pieces. The metal is engraved or textured before applying enamel, creating a interplay of light and shadow within the glassy surface.
