Antique Shirokiya Mother of Pearl Cufflinks

◇Shirokiya

Founded in 1662 as a kimono shop in the early Edo period, Shirokiya is one of Japan's oldest department stores. Based in Nihonbashi, Tokyo, it flourished as a modern department store, particularly during the Taisho and Showa eras, known for its high-end clientele.

◇Design

Antique chain cufflinks.
Mother-of-pearl is used for the face, polished from abalone shells that were popular at the time.
The strong iridescence has not faded over time, and it will surely accent your sleeves.
The metal part is pink gold-plated, giving it a dressy feel.
This is a masterpiece that allows you to feel the sophisticated aesthetic of Japan at that time.

These cufflinks add a touch of understated elegance and are perfect for special occasions. The shell's luster, which changes its expression depending on the light, creates an elegant impression.
Also recommended as a Father's Day gift.
