About Cufflinks
Cufflinks date back to the early 16th Century when aristocrats used first string and then glass buttons on sterling silver chains to fasten the ruffled wristbands, or “cuffs”, of their shirts.It was not long before men began using cufflinks to express their personal style and social position. Family crests, mottos and monograms were popular cufflink designs, much as men favor the symbol of their favorite sports team, or a national flag.
Diamonds and other precious gems were also incorporated into cufflink designs. Cufflinks are increasingly popular men´s accessories. Novelty cufflinks and humorous cufflinks often feature designs related to iconic figures from current affairs, sports, movies or literature.
