Rolled gold cufflinks

You never have enough

Cufflinks are one of those things you can never have enough of. A lucky coincidence led us to the warehouse of a manufactory with stocks from the 1940s to 1980s. All made of gold doublé - some with sparkling glass crystals. Gold doublé: With up to 120 tons of pressure and almost 850 degrees, a robust and permanent gold plating is created. This mechanical gold plating is considered to be more abrasion-resistant than galvanic gold plating. Rolled gold doublé is a mark of quality. The term "doublé" (English: rolled gold, French: or laminé) has been protected since 1923. According to DIN 8237, the fineness of the overlay may not be specified. This would be in contradiction to the Stamp Act. And who could contradict this?
