This has not always been the case, but gentlemen now have less choice in the world of jewelry than ladies. In the past, necklaces, earrings, rings and signet rings, pins, watch chains, pocket watches, collar buttons and cufflinks, lapel clips and brooches, all these jewels made the happiness of princes and dandies at the opera.

So let’s dedicate a category of their own to these cufflinks! Almost the last survivors of men’s chic, and yet what elegance when you vary your buttons according to the occasion.
