Classic Cufflinks

With classic cufflinks is referred to cufflinks of which the design survived all the different fashion trends through the years. Classic cufflinks can usually be worn with a variety of outfits and attires for men, meaning they are truly versatile. Classic cufflinks also create an elegant appearance in general, and are less intent on making some kind of statement, as is the case with alternative style fashion in general.

A very good example of classic cufflinks being made, is by the Australian company Cuff and Co.

Cuff and Co Australia

Cuff and Co Australia was founded after a bag full of old Australian Halfpennies was bought at a local garage store – this led to a feeling of nostalgia, and the decision was made to find a new purpose for these coins that served their country well long ago, and for such a long time as well. The idea of transforming them into elegant classic cufflinks for men and women, was the beginning of the business Cuff and Co Australia.

The idea of using the coins in such a way is really original. Each coin has its own story and therefore history behind it, as such responsible for the investment value of these items. Though not in use anymore, the coins used by Cuff and Co Australia for cufflinks, were all used as legal tender in the past. Each of these coins are also restored professionally – cleaned, buffed and polished by hand, in order to bring back their shine from the past. Apart from the restoring which is done, each coin is also covered with an electro-coating, to help keep the shine of the restored coin for a longer time.

On the website of Cuff and Co Australia, the exact information about each type of coin used for the classic cufflinks is given. This includes a short general history of the time during which the coin was produced, the material of which the coin is made, the diameter and the weight of the coin.

These classic cufflinks from Cuff and Co Australia are adaptable to basically any outfit. In contrast to this, the normal and traditional style of cufflink is usually less easily used for different kinds of outfits and attires. Gold plated cufflinks for example could be quite formal, while sterling silver cufflinks of certain designs, whether with inlaid stones or not, are as well less easily adaptable to different styles for different occasions.

Other designs for classic cufflinks

Other traditional style classic cufflinks usually include the following:

-The double knot usually made from silk (these days this shape is also sometimes produced in sterling silver or gold, due to its popularity)

-The plain square classic cufflinks from sterling silver or gold plated

-Oval shape, also from sterling silver or gold plated

-The plain square shape in either sterling silver or gold plated, with a simple design of inlaid stones.

Although the above are always neutral and elegant, the classic cufflinks produced by Cuff and Co Australia is really something special.
