Made by Carter, Gough & Co., this pair of four-ornament Art Nouveau cuff links features green enamel framing mother-of-pearl and a single half-pearl centers. Founder Aaron Carter started his jewelry company in Newark, New Jersey, in 1841 and was one of the first to use steam engine power to manufacture its jewelry pieces, such as stickpins, cufflinks, lockets, pins and coin purses. Carter's son, William Tuttle Carter, took over the firm, and in 1915, the company's name was official changed to Carter, Gough & Co. The design house went on to become one of the largest jewelry producers in the world, creating pieces from in Victorian, Edwardian, Art Deco and Art Nouveau styles. Collectors still hold their pieces in high regard due to their high quality and ability to withstand the test of time while defining an era.
