Cool Cufflinks

Posted by David James on

Cool Cufflinks

The word ‘cool’ refers mostly to something with a strong personality or character. In this case it refers to cufflinks. The variety of cufflinks on the market today is tremendous. But most of the products are quite similar to each other regarding style for example. Cool cufflinks therefore are cufflinks that are different, and that could be set apart from the normal range of products on the market, mostly because of their design.

Cool cufflinks can be used by the wearer to show at least a bit of individual personality, without hindering his or her professional business look. This especially applies to men, since men have much fewer chances to accessorize than women in general.

Cool cufflinks could for example be:

-Cufflinks that are made from real fired bullets

-Cufflinks that are shaped like a skull (Ralph Lauren)

-Cufflinks that are shaped like moustaches

-Cufflinks that are made to look like the center button of all Apple products, for example an Iphone, Ipad, etc.

-Cufflinks that remind one of Star Wars

-Cufflinks that are lighters

-Bat Man cufflinks

-Cufflinks that are made to look like the inside of a watch, etc.

It is therefore clear that there are a big variety when it comes to cool cufflinks.

Cuff and Co Australia

One product not mentioned yet, is the use of old coins for the designing of elegant cufflinks. The Australian cufflink company, Cuff and Co, also greatly contributes to the collection of cool cufflinks on the world market today.

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 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 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.

The variety of cufflinks offered by Cuff and Co Australia therefore forms an important part of the ‘cool’ cufflink collection in general today. At least, it will definitely get a conversation going!
