In terms of gift-giving, cufflinks fall into the category of less personal than a ring but more original than buying fragrance. And with the big return of jewelry and accessories in fashion for spring, they are also timely.
"Traditionally men buy woman jewelry for Valentine's Day but now more women are buying for men - and especially cufflinks." says Top Toronto jewelry designer Richard Booth.
Booth says when a women buys her man cuff-links, it's like giving him the seal of approval. A first-time wearer suddenly has the confidence to wear them and will even flaunt them. First he is surprised by feedback but learns to enjoy the attention and is soon back for another pair.
Another plus is that cufflinks, like a man's tie or socks, is one small way of maintaining some individuality. They say that what's on a man's (or woman's) shirt cuff should make us curious to know more. Styles range from pricey, precision pieces in 18kt gold and platinum to contemporary gold or silver designs to inexpensive novelty styles.
"Years ago cufflink designs were so stodgy. I remember those horrifying, gaudy, chandeleirs of yesteryears that looked like billboards on cuffs," says Booth. "Then designs became totally dull. Men had to wear cufflinks as part of the uniform. Today there is a whole new genre and new sexiness and style in cufflinks."
As a goldsmith and designer, Booth says it's a new and exciting area to be working in, creating everything from ancient coin replicas to clockfaces to Valentine-day heart shapes.
Cufflinks provide polish to a working woman's outfit, either peeking out from a jacket's sleeves or smartly accessorizing a crisply tailored shirt with French cuffs.
