Cufflinks

Not that I have enough double cuffed shirts or occasions to wear them I do rather like them and certainly prefer them to buttons when going for smart. My number one pair are a lovely pair to 9ct gold ones, made in 1898 with floral patters on them, a gift for best manning my dad's wedding.

anyway, let us talk about the acceptable face of man jewellery.

i have a few pairs of these: http://www.thomaspink.com/fcp/categorylist/men/Cufflinks?filterNameAlias=style&addFilter=STYLE&filterValue=woven%20silk

(pink and blue)

(and black)

I'm very fond of the old typewriter keys that Paul Smith (and everyone else?) was selling some 8 years ago. I remember going to the store with someone and drooling over them.

I used to have a pair of gold knots, I wonder what happened to them. Generally, men's are better styled.

This thread was inspired by these

Made from old watch mechanism, they clip over buttons rather than being proper links, but I though they were pretty awesome.

they are kinda kool though

See? No one would make something that awesome for women, it just wouldn't happen.

having looked at their site, these are even better:

They do have lady's rings:

Should have made this a search and destroy really, although I guess the same rules apply as for ties so no flags or cartoon character cufflinks please.

They do have lady's rings

Most of which are grotesquely ugly. And the ring bases they're glued onto are "silver tone" and adjustable -- worth about $.03 and guaranteed to turn your finger green in a month. It's depressing.
