Interesting facts
The stitched buttonhole and shirt cuff as we know it was developed in the 17th century. Tailors fastened cuffs with two ornamental buttons attached by a chain and these were called ‘boutons de manchettes’ in French, or ‘sleeve buttons’. Sleeve buttons became popular with the upper classes and jewellers began to create sleeve buttons in silver and gold, adding semi-precious gemstones or stamped designs and thus the cufflink was born.
Since their creation, cufflinks have been seen as a symbol of status for gentlemen with luxury gold and gemstone cufflinks seen as a symbol of wealth, power and reputation.
Cufflink Styles and materials have changed since the 17th century, but Some traditions from the history of cufflinks still remain today. Cufflinks are often given as gifts, especially for the groomsman at a wedding or to celebrate a special ceremony. The cufflink is a staple part of high society, fashion and a symbol of status.
