About Silver Cufflinks

Talking about Silver Cufflinks

Double cuff shirts, which fasten with cufflinks, have been coming back into fashion in recent years. Fastening cuffs with buttons is all well and good and in many cases, the most practical way of securing a shirt. In many occupations where cleanliness, hygiene or safety concerns are paramount, buttons are the best solution. However, for people who want to make a bit more of a statement about who they are and what sort of clothes they like wearing, double cuff shirts with silver cufflinks look far better than buttons.

The Classic Choice

The choice of design of cufflinks has also expanded greatly in recent years. The traditional choice of plain metal square or round cufflinks is still catered for by many retailers, with cufflinks ranging in price from a few pounds for steel or alloy cufflinks up to many hundreds of pounds for cufflinks made from precious metals such as silver, gold, or even platinum. A simple pair of platinum or gold cufflinks is a classic choice which will work well for nearly every occasion and with nearly every suit or shirt. A simple pair of cufflinks should be a staple of everyone’s jewellery box.

Occasion Wear

Plain cufflinks are a great choice for work or other formal occasions. However, double cuff shirts are becoming more fashionable for casual occasions or other events such as weddings or parties. For these sorts of occasions, a more unusual or colourful choice may be appropriate. Many jewellers are responding to this demand for less classical styles of cufflinks and there are lots of cutting edge designers doing interesting things in the world of cufflinks.

Designer Cufflinks

All of the major jewellery designers are making cufflinks, and investing in a designer pair will not also provide a way of fastening your shirt, but will also be quite a talking point. Designs by famous British designer Vivienne Westwood often feature unusual shapes such as skulls antique skulls, with sparkly diamante detailing, making them the best choice for a night out or special occasion such as a wedding or other celebration. Stephen Webster is another designer specializing in the design of silver cufflinks, and his work features some very unusual cufflinks which are worlds away from the traditional square design. Particularly popular are the tusk style cufflinks, which look like either a tusk or blade on the shirt cuff. For a true touch of luxury, you can even get cufflinks set with real diamonds.
