A pair of amethyst cufflinks, each with a pair of oval cabochon amethysts in closed-back collet settings, on chain-link fittings, 9ct gold mounted, maker's mark EWV, setting length 1.45cm
Amethysts are well matched, of deep pinkish-purple hues, with fracture, fissure and 'tiger's stripe' inclusions visible under close inspection. Some of the fractures/fissures are surface-reaching and the amethysts may be foil-backed. The amethysts and settings have surface scuffs and small chips/nicks commensurate for light use. Marks are clearly struck, for London 1975. Gross weight approximately 9.6gm.
