Dress Up with Cufflinks

By , About.com GuideDecember 22, 2008

Follow me on:

jewelryThe term cufflinks was coined in the 1600s, when men used links of chain with a button on one end to secure the cuffs of their sleeves. Cufflinks may not ever see a return to their mid 1900s popularity, when millions of pairs were sold annually by jewelry and accessory companies such as Swank, Inc., but they have been trending upwards in recent years now that more men's shirts have cuff slits to accommodate them. And cufflinks aren't just for men -- women appreciate the endless styles that are available, which range from subdued to funky (the millefiori cufflinks in this collection are a unisex style).

I recently came across a men’s jewelry catalog online (G3 Jewelry) that offers customizable diamond jewelry. They have diamond cufflinks in different styles that are very nice.
