Buying Cufflinks: The Guide for the Stylish Gentleman

Buying cufflinks is one of the few opportunities for many gentlemen to truly express their personality through jewelry. They elevate any shirt with French cuffs and are a sign of style and attention to detail. We show you everything you need to know.

When to wear cufflinks?

  • Formal business occasions
  • Weddings and festive evening events
  • Galas, theatre, opera
  • Important presentations or negotiations

What shirt do I need?

Cufflinks require a shirt with a French cuff. This cuff is twice as long as normal and is folded back – the resulting hole accommodates the cufflink.

Cufflinks as a Gift

Engraved cufflinks – initials, wedding date, or a small emblem – are an elegant and unforgettable gift for fathers, grooms, bosses, or best men.

Care and Storage

After wearing, polish with a soft cloth. Store in a case or jewelry box to prevent scratches. Have gold cufflinks professionally cleaned once a year.
