Vintage Wood Cufflinks Details
A handsome pair of vintage Japanese cufflinks with warm oval wood fronts set into simple silver-tone metal frames. The domed wood faces show a natural striped grain pattern with darker speckling at the edges, giving them a clean mid-century look with just enough texture.
The backs have whale-style toggle fittings and are stamped PAT. 503655, a Japanese patent mark often seen on Showa-era cufflink hardware. The patent mark likely refers to the cufflink fitting or fastening mechanism rather than the decorative wood face.
Understated, easy to wear, and nicely balanced between natural material and tailored polish, these are a great pair for someone who likes vintage men’s accessories without too much flash.

Why We Love It:
The wood faces keep these cufflinks warm and organic, while the silver-tone setting makes them feel crisp enough for a jacket, dress shirt, or vintage-inspired menswear look. The Japanese patent mark adds that extra bit of Madge-worthy history — a small detail that makes a simple pair much more interesting

HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR VINTAGE JEWELRY
Vintage Jewelry Care
Always handle vintage jewelry gently and store it carefully between wearings. Keep each piece in a soft pouch or lined box to prevent scratches, tangling, or metal abrasion. Avoid contact with water, perfume, hairspray, and household cleaners, which can dull finishes or weaken settings. To clean, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe away oils and dust.
For metals and stones, use a mild, non-abrasive jewelry cleaner suited to the materials. Never submerge rhinestone or glued pieces in water or use ultrasonic cleaners, as moisture can damage the foil backing or loosen stones. With proper care, your vintage jewelry will retain its beauty and character for years to come.
