Burnell and Rowe

Description

This is an attractive set of George V 9ct Gold Cuff Links. The cuff links are oval with a line and flower design engraved around the edge. They are chain linked cuff links with flate plates. They come supplied in a modern gift box.

The cuff links were made in Birmingham by renowned jewellers G.H. Johnstone & Co and date to 1919, just after the First World War. Founded by George Hope Johnstone in around 1876, the firm operated from premises in Northampton Street in Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter. Their distinctive monogram mark is most commonly seen on cuff links in either gold or silver although they did produce other items. Johnstone died in 1907 but the company remained in business until around the mid 1920s.

Condition is very good, with no dings or dents and just the superficial surface wear that you would expect after over 100 years of good service. Please make sure to view all the photographs.

Each cuff link plate is 1.7cm by 1cm and the pairs are 2cm long. They weigh in at 4.6g of 9ct gold.

The hallmarks, on the back of each pair, are nice and clear to read. They show the 9 and .375 marks for 9ct gold, the anchor assay mark for Birmingham, the date letter u for 1919 and the distinctive GJ monogram makers' mark for G.H. Johnstone & Co.

Shipping in the UK is £12.00 by Royal Mail Special Delivery, which includes cover for the value of the cuff links.
