Cubic Zirconia Cufflinks Making a Comeback

Saturday, September 18th, 2010

Cubic zirconia cufflinks are a fabulous style statement for both men and women.  Everyone needs to wear cufflinks on one occasion or another.  They are the perfect accessory for any dress shirt, whether purely decorative or functional – fastening cuffs together.   You may think of cz cufflinks as somewhat dated or cheesey, but they can be a great finishing piece like the right item of jewelry or a standout pair of shoes.    We’re not suggesting golfball cufflinks, superbowl or “ball-and-chain” wedding cufflinks.  Rather, there are some elegant cufflink designs made with precious metals like sterling silver and gold and gemstones that you’ll keep for a lifetime.    We love vintage monogrammed cufflinks.  (Who cares if they are someone else’s initials?!)  You can also get cufflinks that coordinate with a necklace, making for a lovely set.  Cufflinks are a great gift idea since you don’t have to worry about sizing, and you can safely incorporate the recipient’s sense of personal style.  Stainless steel can be a more affordable option than sterling silver or gold cufflinks, but that is not always the case.  Some cufflinks have cubic zirconia, diamonds, or other gemstones such as agate or opal that raise the cost higher than a fancy pair of earrings.

Classic cz cufflinks are either square, rectangular or circular and made of a precious metal, and sometimes enamel.  They are only noticeable from some angles and shouldn’t overpower the sleeve.  For those who work in a formal office (i.e. opposite of us) they are one of the few opportunities, along with ties, for the wearer to show a bit of personality.  Another traditional cufflink style is the silk knot cufflinks, which come in a variety of colors and tend to blend in well with the shirt.  A pair of high-quality silk knot cufflinks can run about $30 dollars, but if stored properly, can last a lifetime.

Sterling Silver CZ Cufflinks For Men

Tuesday, August 18th, 2009

Men’s cufflinks are a necessary accessory for a polished look.   Prices range from about $40 to $300 dollars for sterling silver cufflinks.  Worn with French-cut dress shirts, one of the most popular, classic styles is the “knot” cufflink.  A fashion staple, one or both sides of the cufflink has a knot shape.  They are admired for their clean, simple lines and functionality, without being too flashy.

Cufflinks with gemstones such as cubic zirconia can be a jazzier, but still elegant, option.  Men’s cufflinks come in endless shapes.  Elvis, cowboy boots, starfish and Roman coins are just some of the types of sterling silver cuff links.  But for a more formal occasion,  Smooth Circle Cubic Zirconia Sterling Silver Cufflinks are more tasteful.  Combining a simple shape with precious metals such as gold or sterling silver is a striking and timeless look. Many styles can be personalized with engraved initials making cufflinks a wonderful gift.

One of the most important things to consider with men’s cufflinks are their durability. A nice pair of high-quality cufflinks can last a lifetime. You may also consider the size of the cufflinks. They should be proportional to the size of the hand and wrist. So someone with large hands will wear larger cufflinks better than someone with small hands.
