The jade plaques are prong-set within a sterling gilt setting, and a set of yellow gold airplane backs stamped "14K" have been affixed to the back. The jade has magnificent coloring, with beautiful translucent green and milky white hues. A very unique and attractive pair of cufflinks, they would look wonderful worn by a man or woman and are perfect for any jade collector!
