Cufflinks: A Quick How To - Part III

Yesterday I explained the great reasons to choose a whale backing and incited you to come back today for an explanation of the classic chain link cufflink.

Well here it is...

The most traditional form of cufflinks feature a chain link. Chain link cufflinks are the original form of cufflinks and are found most often in items of English production. Chain links characteristically have 2 sides that are joined together by a chain link. Due to the agility required to put them on, these are certainly for the expert level cufflink connoisseur. The benefit of this style is that there is something to look at on both sides of the cuff. Additionally, chain link cufflinks typically allow for a looser cuff.


Featured here is a pair of Ravi Ratan's Ball and Chain cufflinks. Perfect for a soon-to-be-wed bachelor! Made with sterling silver, these chain linked cufflinks are able to add a bit of humor to a traditional accessory. This pair of cufflinks can also be reversible which is common for many of the chain link cufflinks.

Cufflink Backings - A Quick How-To - Part 1

You've buttoned up your French cuffed shirt and are ready to look the part of what GQ deems the 21st Century Gentleman. You clutch your handpicked cufflinks and confusion sets in, what do you do?

Just as unique as the faces of cufflinks can be, the backings can be just as compelling. History tells us that men used to apply string or a chain to connect to fasten cufflinks. Luckily for us, designers have made wearing cufflinks an effortless act of style.

For the most part, modern cufflink backings fall under a handful of possibilities. Over the next week, we will highlight one of the 6 most common cufflink backings and the best way to put them on.

Starting with today - The Bullet Backing

The most common of the backings & arguably the easiest to put on. This backing is constructed with bullet shaped capsule that is suspended between two posts. The bullet can be flipped on its axis to manipulate it through the button holes in the cuff, and then flipped horizontal to secure the cufflink on the shirt. Featured here in sterling silver.
