Though cufflinks are usually seen as a formal men’s accessory, there is a huge trade in novelty cufflinks. These are humorous, holiday-themed, quirky and otherwise off-beat cufflinks that you might find in virtually any gift shop online or in the high street.
Novelty cufflinks are made from a variety of materials – often a gold or silver base is used for the cufflink itself, and this is then embellished with an enamel or ceramic face that can be decorated according to the jeweller’s design. Many outlets have a facility that will let you design your own cufflinks for special occasions by answering a few questions or submitting an image file.
The assortment of novelty cufflinks available is staggering – chances are, whatever special interest, hobby, profession, sports club, tourist attraction or professional society you’re involved in, you can get cufflinks to express your affiliation if you just look around a little. Searching for ‘novelty cufflinks’ online will generate tens of thousands of results – so you’ll have to be more specific. Got a relative who loves puzzles? Try searching for ‘puzzle cufflink’, you’ll find innovative designers have crafted tiny puzzles to be worn on the wrist of any stylish man – there are scores of cufflinks with mazes as well!
With a little effort, you’ll soon find cufflinks to suit the taste, style and interest of everyone on your shopping list – but do take the time to consider the wearer’s habits when looking for cufflinks online – something heavy is more likely to snag on jacket sleeves. A complicated or oddly-shaped cufflink is more prone to catching on outerwear or getting bumped in the normal day-to-day routine. And always be sure to get a suitable storage box for the cufflinks, so they’re protected when they’re not being worn.
Also, to avoid disappointment, buy from online retailers with clearly stated rules for returns, refund and exchanges.
