Posted by JewelleryMen on October 1st, 2012

Among all the many varieties of men’s accessories cufflinks have withstood the test of time and remain just as popular as ever today. There is an ever growing choice available for the modern shopper as new techniques become available with the advances of technology. Nevertheless the art of the craftsman is still held in the highest regard and the best and most distinctive cufflinks are still handmade. Some of the finest are engraved cufflinks which are available in two basic styles. Engraved intaglio means that the designs are cut into the stone or metal. Sculpted designs mean that they are cut from the stone. Either way these cufflinks always stand out and are sought after by well dressed men. Cufflinks are also often bought by people to be gifted to their men. They make a great gift for any occasion.

Look further than the brands

Although the famous fashion houses like Armani, Gucci and Dolce Cabana have always deigned and offered cufflinks the new trend is for custom cufflinks. Nowadays there are many smaller cufflink designer businesses that are able to offer exquisite work and at great prices. They don’t have the overheads of marketing, staff and buildings that the big brands have to support. These highly skilled designers are able to get their cufflinks in front of potential customers using the worldwide web. Not least they are able to operate all over the world and have access to the finest craftsmen. They enable cufflink designers to create fabulously high quality jewellery such as engraved cufflinks as just one example.

Know the types of cufflinks for men

There are many styles of cufflinks for men. With the advancement of technology the various swivel devices have resulted in a whole new set of possibilities when designing cufflinks. The traditional chain and shank or double cylinder cufflinks remain popular as they still portray a certain timeless style. Other types of attachment such as the stud have also been the inspiration behind other new cufflink designs. Certainly the method of attachment of a cufflink has a great bearing on the designs available.

More than this the use of different stones and metals as well as other materials has had a bearing on cufflink development. The engraving and sculpting of semi precious stones is very popular especially when combined with personalized designs to create custom cufflinks.
