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.

Collector wrote, 'this is the biggest saphiret in my collection'. This is indeed an important pin in that this has the boldest largest faceted Saphiret art glass stone on the web! This desirable bi color faceted stone measures just under 1 1/2" or 40mm across! The pin itself measures 2 1/8" across. The stone is so big that it could be cut down to make several good size ones.
