Golden Cuff-Links – High-Class Accessory

Sunday, 07 August 2011

Golden Cuff-Links The times when signets and rings, and tie-bars were higly demanded passed and since then the cuff-links become the classic elegant accessory for men. They look as soft and speaking jewelry that show the social status of the person.

When you see a man wearing golden cuff-links, it speaks of the well-being and high social status of him, as well as of the good taste. But it should be noted that gold as precious metal should be matched with only elegant expensive fabric but not synthetic tissue whichever trendy and creative they are.

The cuff-links were the compulsory element of clothing for men long time ago but in 18th century this accessory was offered in Europe made in gold. During the reign of Louis XIV the court dandies boasted with their luxury silky shirts tied with glass buttons linked with the silver chain in between. Further on, the good manners introduced the other rules when all the court people and nobles form high society should decorate their clothing with golden cuff-links incrusted with precious stones, particularly diamonds. The golden cuff-links dominated until the second half of 19th century when the scientists introduced the practice of electroplating or galvanism effect. Thus, the accessory manufacturers came to the opinion that the costly gold could be replaced with the cheaper spattering of yellow color instead of the natural gold onto their items. That was reasonable from commercial point of view though the effect was not that enthralling as with gold, indeed.

Among the jewelry recorded in the well-known Guinness Book, the golden cuff-links were the ones mentioned exactly for the metal they are made from. The most expensive cuff-links produced throughout the history of humankind were created by the reputed designing jeweler from Britain of Italian origin Gianni Vive Sulman. For his jewelry he used the 18k gold that is 75% gold and several hundred of select diamonds. That was time-consuming and costly manufacture and as a result the jeweler presented seventy three pairs of cuff-links, stunning and dazzling in beauty each pair estimated for about forty thousand USD.

The brand Atelier Yozu is specialized in producing the exclusive cuff-links from yellow gold. Each of its cuff-links is normally incrusted with a scatter of diamonds or other precious stones. The Atelier Yozu cuff-links average from ten thousand USD.

Some jewelry brands like Cross from USA launch gold cuff-links for a cheaper price. However, the Cross accessories look less elegant but more solid without any precious inclusions with the only decorating as graving. In exclusive models platinum is used and such cross-links are offered from five hundred to a thousand USD.

If the yellow gold cuff-links are associated with pompousness and boasting, the more restricted and conservative men prefer wearing cuff-links made from white gold. It is ideal when the cuff-links match the case of wrist watches. The precious stones look precious when they match the color of shirt or a tie otherwise the color conflict may cause the different effect.

The gold is pliable enough to make a variety of cuff-links different in design from it. The jewelers usually refer to hobbies or specialty of a person presenting cuff-link as grenades, a wallet, a ball or a car helm. When the exclusive cuff-links are offered for custom, they may have the owner initials of company logo and such cuff-links are mostly liked by the top managers of large companies.

The jewelry shops offer unusual cuff-links offered as death-heads, mobile phones or naked figures that usually exert attention and evoke different emotions. Those who prefer such cuff-links come as wealthy young men who tend to adhere to bohemian style in clothing and are not afraid to make impression on others.

Functional gold cuff-links are made for particular devotees only. After all, not a single man would like to have a compass or a weather gauge inserted in his cuff-links. However, such a creative approach could be used in practice more often, why not, especially when watches are there combined with cuff-links.

Regardless of the shape, cuff-links have been one of men’s accessories to really attract attention and make a judgment of the wearer.
