Introduction
A stylish piece of history: these Art Deco cufflinks from the 1920s–30s combine craftsmanship, geometry, and elegance in a truly unique design. Featuring six-pointed stars with a floral center, they are crafted in Damascus-style metalwork, possibly with niello or enamel detailing, and preserved in their original box from renowned jeweller W. Wray of Birmingham. With their rich symbolism and perfect symmetry, these cufflinks are more than accessories — they’re collectible statements. A must-have for lovers of antique jewellery, Judaica, or early 20th-century design.

Maker / Brand
This set was retailed by W. Wray, Jeweller, 39 New Street, Birmingham — a well-established British jewellery house active during the early 20th century. The company operated circa 1900–1935, specializing in high-quality silver and metalwork. The elegant blue velvet case with gilt lettering is typical of interwar jewellers. While the cufflinks bear no visible maker’s marks, they were likely made by or for W. Wray’s store.

Use & Decoration
These round cufflinks were intended for formal occasions and are worn with double-cuff dress shirts. Ideal for tuxedos, white tie, or ceremonial attire. The six-pointed star design — strongly reminiscent of the Magen David or a stylized Art Deco star — carries both aesthetic and symbolic meaning. With influences from Eastern and Moorish ornamentation, this pattern fits seamlessly into Art Deco’s fascination with symmetry, geometry, and exotic forms.
