A pair of cufflinks worn by Reverend Ike. The gold tone cufflinks feature identical crown shaped front faces encrusted with white rhinestones. Each crown has three arches set with small, round, white rhinestones points. The crown caps are represented by two marquise cut white rhinestones. At the bottom of the crowns are a band of channel set white rhinestone baguettes framed by two rows of gold beads. The crowns are capped with a square cut, white rhinestone topped by a small, round cut, white rhinestone. The posts and T-bar toggles are gold tone base metal and plain. One cufflink (2022.60.3a) is missing a round point just above one of the marquise cut white rhinestones. The other cufflink (2022.60.3b) is complete.
