Men's branded cufflinks
At all times, men have been very sensitive to their appearance and have always strived to unobtrusively follow the changing fashion, emphasizing their elegance and originality with the help of all kinds of accessories and jewelry.
Story
Men's cufflinks are a piece of jewelry that has come a long way.
In the 17th century, at the court of the French king Louis XIV, cufflinks replaced the laces and silk ribbons that tied the lace cuffs of the sleeves.
At first, these were gems with a chain that was threaded through a slit on the cuff.
Time passed and the chain was replaced by solid strong legs. Decades later, a modern lock appeared on the other, back of the cufflink.
Strict tuxedos and black suits came to replace lace shirts and silk camisoles, but men's cufflinks retained their position, becoming an ornament-clasp for shirt cuffs.
For a very long time, cufflinks remained an attribute of the attire of the aristocracy and wealthy people.
Today, cufflinks are the observance of tradition, fashion, aristocracy, a demonstration of status and originality.
There are two types of cufflinks:
- symmetrical - both parts are exactly the same, connected in the middle, the buttoned cuff looks the same on both sides. Such cufflinks are at the peak of popularity today and are very practical.
Putting them on in a hurry, you still won't mix up the sides.

When putting on these cufflinks, it is important not to confuse that the clasp should not be visible.
