Why traditional metal cufflinks make a good gift

  • Classic metal designs suit weddings, galas, interviews and daily office wear alike.
  • A matching metal tone ties together a watch, ring, tie bar and belt buckle.
  • Well-made metal pairs are durable enough to wear for years and pass down.

What to look for

  • Match the metal tone to the watch or rings the recipient already wears most.
  • Check whether the material is solid, plated or stainless steel, as wear and tarnish differ.
  • Look for a storage box or case to keep the pair together and protected.

Questions people ask

What kind of shirt do cufflinks need?

Does sterling silver tarnish?
Sterling silver can darken over time, but a quick polish with a soft silver cloth restores the shine.
