A fabulous pair of sterling cuff links by New York Modernist Arthur King. King had a shop on Madison Avenue in New York City in the 1960's. Most of his pieces have caged stones and these appear to be quartz or rock crystal which is a delightful combination with the silver. Big and chunky, these measure 3/4" by 3/4" and are in fine original condition. They are signed King Sterling and are truly terrific.
