And A Tie To Match


Matching ties and cufflinks is sure to draw attention, so, if you have the time and inclination. This silk tie is part of the Ian Flaherty collection, available at selected online shops only.

The Swarovski Factor


When it comes to effective use of Swarovski Crystals the first name that springs to mind is Ian Flaherty. He has played a major role in popularising cufflinks and best of all they are handmade in his London studio.

The Black Heart Cufflink


After all these years, this remains one of the most consistently popular styles in Vivienne Westwood’s collection of men’s jewellery. It’s distinctly English, just like the Orb and, all the other out of ordinary designs that have emerged from Vivienne’s fashion design house in London.

Emergent Cufflinks: The Well Groomed Man


Cufflinks have emerged not only as affordable fashion accessories conveying your own personal style, but also as great gift items for almost all occasions, for men as well as ladies.

An ever expanding range of French cuffed shirts appear on the horizon giving men the variety they deserve. Any opportunity for decoration is worth its while.

After many years of repetitive styles the demand is relieved by wise enough retailers, well researched by keeping one eye on the weather. Just a quick browse in any upmarket department store will reveal more than a dozen brands offering fragrant grooming to taunt any man.

An all time favourite Hugo Boss splash on after shave. Just a small dose is enough to last the day, coupled with a subtle hand lotion to barrier against the harsh environment of air conditioned offices.

If you really want women to notice, then a little adornment won’t go astray. Polish your shoes, be a little extravagant in your choice of silk tie, a freshly ironed shirt, a close shave, clean finger nails and you will be prepared for any occasion (in a red skirt)

Autumn Leaves For Cufflinks, By August She’ll Be Mine.


There is no need to guess the colours of Oak, Maple and Cherry as they change season upon season. Their essence has been captured perfectly in these miniature pieces of jewellery. And here are the opening lines of William Wordsworth’s most famous poem.

I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils; Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:

Enamel Cufflinks: The Chrysler Building New York


A pair of enamel cufflinks that symbolise the essence of art deco architecture, Just like the façade Chrysler Building in New York. They are enamelled by skilful hands in England and bare all the hallmarks of classic design.
