    THEY ARE 925 SILVER AND THE HEADS ARE ABALONE.
    NO MARKS.
    THE HEADS DONT APPEAR ROMAN AND I CANNOT FIND THEM WITH GOOGLE SEARCH.
    ANY INFO. THAT MAY ID MAKER OR DESIGN. 20230819_214356.jpg 20230819_214404.jpg 20230819_214426.jpg

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    There are similar (but different) sets being sold online. They are .800 silver instead of the .925 on yours, though. And accompanied by a tie clasp that is marked Camexco, apparently an Italian company. Also they are rectangular in shape instead of oval. Still, the head is similar enough that I'll include a link here.

    According to what little I found online, Camexco began operations in the 1950s. Since their design is similar to the one on your cufflinks, I imagine they are from 1950s-1960s? Or maybe later.

    Dante (who mark their pieces) made a line of Museum Masterpiece cufflinks that had Incolay cameos using impressions from engraved gems. Swank did something quite similar, calling the line Cameo Classics, made in a material they called 'camilava'.

    No further info, but:

    Don't know where they got the Honor, Integrity, Duty bit.

    That could explain the difference in the silver percentage. Good!

    That makes sense as their logo states just "Genuine Cornelian Cameos."
