A Little History: Alluring Cufflinks

The first cufflinks appeared in the early 17th century. They were an original alternative to ribbons and lace to retain handles. Considering at the beginning as a personal adornment, it was reserved to the high social class population. In the 19th century, during the Industrial Revolution, the development of precious metal electroplating afforded the masses to get cufflinks in their wardrobe. A wide variety of mechanisms for open and closing cufflinks appeared: the classic chain is replaced by the flip-hinge. Jewellers like Cartier and Tiffany crafted work of art cufflinks in mother of pearl, crystal; precious stones...These famous fashion names establish cufflinks as the essential accessory for men. Mirrored in history, cufflinks espouse centuries through various designs: art deco at the end of 19th century, extravagant in the period 1940-1950, eccentric in 1960 with Hollywood stars and whimsical today.

It’s reassuring that in a world of more, faster, quicker and mass production, skilful hands are still at work creating treasured works of art in all forms of jewellery: “Precise, colourful and cheerful”.

Gunmetal Cufflinks

The second in our special feature on alluring cufflinks: Solid metal portrays a degree of masculine strength; using gunmetal adds a sense of power, and, for depth and subtly, rhodium. We can only assume the designers intent, and like songs we read in to them what ever we feel at the time. It’s just nice to elaborate a little and express our views. One thing is for certain this cufflink conjures rugged and subtle beauty, as depicted in its dramatic shapes and contrasting textures of black and silver.
