A pair of vintage silver cufflinks with a clean rectangular form and a finely engraved monogram on the front. Depending on how it is read, the motif appears as either BL or LB. The graphic composition of straight lines and rounded forms reflects the Scandinavian modernist style of the period.
The cufflinks feature matching rectangular backs connected by a curved bridge. The smaller rectangular back plate swivels into position, creating a clean and integrated fastening that echoes the geometric design of the front.
Elegant yet understated, they work just as well with a dinner shirt as with a tailored jacket and an open-collar look. Small in scale but rich in character, they are the kind of detail that tends to be noticed only after a closer look.
