The set consists of 2 large rounded rectangular silver metal cufflinks with incised swirl designs reminiscent of older etched or engraved silver cufflinks. The impressed designs are highlighted in black paint. The cufflinks have bullet back closures; a torpedo, or bullet shaped, capsule that is suspended between two posts. The bullet can be flipped on its axis to manipulate it through the button holes in the cuff, and then flipped to secure the cufflink on the shirt. Both pieces are impressed with the word "SWANK" on reverse.
