Cufflinks are finishing touch of a man's dress, an expression of exclusive male hormonal breath, a unique item to measure taste of a gentleman and hidden secret of an exquisite men's dress.
No wonder Eileen Chang once said, "Men's cufflinks are like delicate women's earrings".

Perhaps because cufflinks have a long history of development, they look so mysterious and sophisticated.
From 14th to 17th century, people used ribbons or drawstrings to fasten their cuffs to keep dust and cold wind out of their sleeves. Later, Greeks began to use jewelry to decorate ribbon knots tied on cuffs, and cufflinks gradually appeared.
About middle of 19th century, appearance of French-style cuff sleeves, which French called "musketeer cuffs", coupled with popularity of shirts and tuxedos, made cufflinks a truly luxurious and delicate piece of jewelry.

Today, cufflinks of various types and complex styles have been developed, and each cufflink has its own uniqueness. By design, cufflinks can be divided into following categories——
