Cufflinks as Mens Jewelry
Types of Cufflinks

One of the best jewelry that every man should have is wearing a pair of cufflinks for their well-fitted French cuff shirts. Wearing a French cuff shirt already presents a high level of sophistication and style.

When you add on a simple pair of cuff links easily takes your stylishness to the next level where they symbolize elegance and class. Not many mens jewelry are able to give that kind of gentlemanly and formal expression.

Interestingly, cuff links also represents individualism because every man has a different preference of style and design. That is why there so many different art forms and unique designs available nowadays.

Most importantly, the individual style of a man is expressed when he matches the cuff links with his dress shirt. It is the art of pairing them with the patterns or colors of the dress shirt that speaks a lot about the men’s eye for color coordination and unique matching approach.

You can choose subtle designs that blend in easily with your dress shirts or you can choose colorful artworks to bring out your trendy flair around your French cuffs. No matter which style you choose, the finishing touches of the cuff links speaks aloud about “You”.

Recommended Celtic Cuff Links and Locket Cuff Links

Traditionally, as in the 1930s, these mens jewelry come mainly in the form of precious stones like rubies, emerald, or even sapphires. These colorful gemstones are usually worn during the formal evening events and parties. I think such practices are still very much followed during our current era for such precious stone cuff links. For our current era of day time dressing, it is the choice of less ostentatious links that are the preferred norm.

But now our choices are a lot wider than before, with many designs using colorful gem-like stones or crystals that are very much cheaper but able to portray styles as loud as precious gemstones.

Some of the common types of cuff links:

Double-Faced or Double-Sided: Two similar faces with a metal link connection. This is the dressiest styles among cufflinks.

Chain Link: A chain that links between double-sided face cufflinks.


Snap on: Two separate pieces of the sides are snapped together.

Push Through: One side which is bulbous or globular is pushed through the cuff holes. The opposite side is the decorated face.

Hinged Back: A bar that can be swiveled parallel to the link when inserting through the cuff holes. Then swiveled to perpendicular to secure the cuff link's position.

Silk Knots: Two knots linked together with and made of silk; one of the knots is pushed through the cuff hole to hold the cuff together. Silk knots are the least dressy style.
