How many parts do cufflinks have?
Cufflinks are
formed by a small cylinder or a chain to keep closed both parts of the cuffs. One visible part, usually a disck shaped elemet is the fixed component. The other one, a smaller pin element is hidden at the backside and it is used to maintain the fixation. The pin can be one piece that fits through the buttonhole or two pieces which are joined through the buttonhole. Some FELDO cufflinks have a pivoting cylindrical part perpendicular to the visible part in order to facilitate the placement in the cuff of the sleeve.
The flat element is the most important of FELDO cufflinks due to the fact that it is the visible part. It is almost always decorated and can take many different forms.

A little history…. How were cufflinks born?
Cufflinks are a rather recent clothing accesory. The first cufflinks appeared in Europe at the beginning of the 17th century. Until that time, laces and picots were used to fasten elegantly shirtsleeves.The first cufflinks were two gold or silver buttons joined by a chain. Sometimes, buttons could be replaced by gold coins. The development of cufflinks is related to the beginning of the Industrial Revolution at the end of the 19th century when the manufacturing of mass production of cufflinks at a affordable price allowed the creation of a wide variety of different models. The evolution of cufflinks is closely linked to the evolution of shirts as an essential clothing element. In the 20th century cufflinks became important elem
ents for clothing. Little by little, cufflinks for double cuff shirts appeared however they were still used by the aristocracy and businessmen. In the 70s, shirts with buttons appeared and cufflinks were considered as jewels created with the most prestigious materials.
Sophistication and elegance over time.
Cufflinks are considered to be a very elegant clothing accesories and they are very demanding in some proffesional enviroments where elegant clothing is required. We can find cufflinks with suits for businessmen, bankers, officials and in ceremony costumes as weddings, gala events or ordinary dinners. FELDO cufflinks can be also used to cover the button of the shirt as a button-cover. They are the indispensable accesories for dress cotas and tuxedos.
The revival of the cufflinks
Leading jewelers of the 20th century were inspired by diverse artistic movements such as Cubism or Art Decó to create new designs. The revival of cufflinks takes place in the 90s thanks to fashion designers’ new creations. Cufflinks returned to the market more extravagant and they became an irreplaceable fashion accesory both for men and women.
What are the right cufflinks?
Everything depends
on the style of the clothing you want to add the accesory. The elegance and style of the whole always depend on each and every element which forms it.
The right cufflinks should have the right colour. You should choose FELDO cufflinks with the same colour of the shirt but with different brightness. You can also choose cufflinks with similar colours or very closed in the chromatic circle or as a third option, you can choose complementary colours, that is completely opposite colours. The colour of the shirt and the cufflinks should be identical to other clothing accesories, as for instance the tie, belt or shoes (they must be always the same colour).
The right cufflinks should be made of a material combined with other clothing accesories as the wristwatch or the belt buckle or they should have the same colour (eg.,gold and golden metal). Therefore, if you wear a gold watch you should also wear gold cufflinks.
