Cufflinks are designed only for use with link cuffs (also known as French Cuffs), which have buttonholes on both sides but no buttons. These may be either single or double-length ("French") cuffs, and may be worn either "kissing," with the ends pinched together, or "barrel-style," with one end overlapping the other. Kissing cuffs are usually preferred.

Traditional dress required that French cuffs be worn with a tie and jacket. However due to the emergence of business casual, many are now wearing French cuffs without tie or jacket.

Many jewelers have a wide range of cufflinks to suit all occasions. Ernest Jones are one of the many jewelers which have a selection to choose from. Silver or Gold, plain of decorative. Click on the link to see this wide selection:

Cufflink designs vary widely. The simplest design consists of a short post or chain connecting two disc-shaped parts. The part positioned on the most visible side is usually larger. A variety of designs can connect the smaller piece: It may be small enough to fit through the button hole like a button would; it may be separated and attached from the other side; or it may have a portion that swivels on the central post, aligning with the post while the link is threaded through the button-hole and swiveling into a position at right angles to the post when worn.

The visible part of a cufflink is often monogrammed or decorated in some way. There are numerous styles, including novelty, traditional, stone-based and contemporary cufflinks

Cufflinks can finish off an outfit, be given as a gift or just to mark that special occasion. Fantastic for men and women and a simple accessory to add style to any occasion and outfit.
