Cuff Links: A History of Style and Elegance

Starting in the Seventeenth Century, men desired something more elegant for their shirts other than ribbon to hold their shirt cuffs together.
Men started to use chains that were attached to the end of silver or gold buttons.
The chains were threaded through the holes of their shirt cuffs to keep them together. As a result, the first cuff link was born!

The beginning of the Industrial Revolution brought on the high production of low-cost cufflinks.
This produced a greater variety of cufflinks to the masses. The chain was replaced with a rod and a fastener and an easy-to-close clip.
Shirt manufacturers, keen on selling a larger quantity of higher priced formal shirts caught on to the cuff link popularity and expanded their lines of dress shirts to include cufflink-ready attire.Sales were booming and men flaunted their individual personalities by sporting their new look with cufflinks and matching stud sets.
During the Nineteenth Century a lot of businessmen of varying classes started wearing cufflinks for more casual wear.
Some even went fishing or hunting with their lucky theme based cufflinks and stud sets.
Prices came down and cuff links were now affordable to the average middle-class gentleman.

Cufflinks have grown into a very popular fashion statement for both men and women alike.
Today, cufflinks can be found in a huge variety of shapes and styles for all types of occasions and dress.

Enamel Cuff Links:

Enamel Cuff Links will add some artistic elegance to a man’s attire.
For over a century, cuff links have been the fashionable way that well dressed men have kept their shirt cuffs together. Besides rings and watches, cuff links are one of the few jewelry accessories that a man wears, and one of the few ways he would express himself.
Cuff links have had their highs and lows in popularity. They were a fashion statement that slightly faded away with the invent of the wash and wear shirt production.
You wouldn’t know that if you meet New York resident, 39 year old Dereck Anastasia.
Dereck is the prince of cuff link collecting. He is also writing a book: The History of Enamel Cuff Links.
Some people just collect cuff links as a fun hobby, but Anastasia is the altimate collector, with well over 1,650 sets of cuff links.
His grandfather gave him a set of gold, antique, enamel cuff links years ago and there was no turning back since.
Working at his job on Wall Street, he realised that cuff links never really went out of style and are considered fashionable for women and men alike.
With shirt manufacturers expanding their variety of colors and patterns of the french cuff shirts, cuff links are now on the shopping list.
In his up comming book, Anastasia has documented the history and artistic styles dating back to the Victorian era.
Enamel cuff links are the most sought after by collectors because of the intricate nature of the design process.
Collecting cuff links can be fun and can be puchased in all price ranges.
They’re little pieces of art that are wearable.
Anastasia’s collection is estimated at over half a million dollars and he especially likes to collect enamel cuff links from the art deco period of the 1920’s. He could wear a different pair of cuff links every day for over four years before going thru all his collection.
I am looking forward to reading his book.
