A man who really wants to express himself, in a formal kind of way, can find himself limited in options. Ostensibly, the beauty of formal men’s style lies in its subtleties—the width of a lapel, the length of a pant, the quality of fabric. It seems the most personalized details often get left to the parts no one, save the man doing the wearing, can actually see (read: lining). Ties, of both variety, have some options but so often appear too ostentatious. So it follows, that cufflinks are perhaps the most demure, yet forward way, to express yourself when all dressed up.

A hand crafted black oynx or mother of pearl rose atop your sterling silver cufflink is, simply put, class.
From a company who have been giving men cufflinks since the US Constitution was signed, these sterling silver owls with genuine blue sapphire eyes are a wise choice. (Also, they are a hoot.)
Seahorses symbolize good luck, confidence, grace and patience. These particular two are hand crafted 24 karat gold dipped sterling silver with two .01 carat diamond eyes.
