Gone is the era when cufflinks were just for the upper echelons of the society. Though the history of cufflinks goes way back to the Middle Ages when they adorned the wrists of fashionable gentlemen of the day. And there has been a huge change over the period of time; a pair of buttons set with diamonds and a pair of gold enameled buttons are the earliest references to what we now recognize as cufflinks was made in the London Gazette of 1684 and 1686 respectively. Now you have cufflinks made out of typewriter keys, subway tokens, out-of-date coins, circuit boards and many more materials. Though the gold and silver are the all time favorites. The range of designs to choose is quite huge now; it can be from your hobbies, work theme, or even gemstones and diamonds (if you can afford). These accessories bring sophistication to an ordinary shirt and once you start wearing it you wont be able to resist it. These are the perfect accessories to enhance formal and business casual attire.
