This Vermeil Liberty Circled Cufflinks are cufflinks featuring the capped winged goddess representing freedom - lady liberty. Often called a mercury dime or liberty dime, these are true classics. Each antique liberty dime is hand-cut with a soldered sterling hinged silver cufflinks backing dipped in gold. The vermeil is 14k yellow gold measured at 2.5 microns thick over the silver material - much thicker than traditional plating therefore lasting longer than traditional plating.
