Carrington Cufflink Archive

Carrington & Company was one of the elite makers of cufflinks and dress sets in the United States during the first half of the 20th century.  Renowned for elegant, beautifully crafted cufflinks and other jewels, the firm was founded by Charles L. Carrington in 1900.  Based in Newark, New Jersey, Carrington & Company created cufflinks and dress sets for many of the finest retail jewelers of the day, including Tiffany & Company. After surviving ever-changing fashions, the Great Depression and two World Wars the firm discontinued operations around 1950.

Carrington cufflinks and dress sets exemplify elegant design, uncompromising craftsmanship, and exquisite materials and gemstones.  Working in gold and platinum, the firm created beautiful cufflinks that were bold without being ostentatious.  The expression "understated elegance" is fitting.
