Swivel Back Cufflinks

Of all the cufflinks back styles the swivel back (toggle) is currently the most popular, as it is easy to fasten and holds the cuff tight. The swivel back cufflinks feature a designed front plate with a rigid fixed bar soldered to the back. This rigid bar is pushed through the double-cuff of a dress shirt and at the opposite end of the fixed piece is a moving "swivel" bar which twists to right angles to secure the cuff.
