Gold or silver cufflinks can form a subtle but integral part of an outfit and provide the wearer with confidence and an air of class. The very fact that the majority of people would rather do without allows you to make a statement with jewellery which is far more subtle than wearing a ring. With that said however, when combined with the correct type of jewellery they can allow you to exude even more style and class. There may be fewer opportunities for people to see your cufflinks but they convey sartorial elegance surpassing other types of jewellery.

Although it is a matter of preference it is highly recommended that you match the colour of your cufflinks to any other jewellery you may be wearing with them. Chromium plated or silver cufflinks are suitable for wearing with white metals such as silver, white gold, platinum or palladium whereas gold cufflinks will compliment gold jewellery nicely.

The level of embellishment is a largely a matter of personal choice but the type of event they are being worn to should also be a factor. The outward facing side may have a design or a precious stone set into it. Cufflinks designed to be a novelty are only really suitable for informal events like parties or celebrations, otherwise you may want to choose a set which adds to a formal appearance. Plain gold or precious stones are most suitable for events that require a formal black outfit. Other occasions where you may be wearing different colour suits could accommodate either silver or gold. Seasoned jewellers will be able to engrave plain gold or silver cufflinks should you so wish.

As no one will actually appraise your outfit while you wear it, you may want to select a gold plated set of cufflinks with a precious stone however by choosing solid gold, possibly decorated with other precious metals or stones, adds to your own sense of self worth which in turn adds to your confidence. As you will see most jewellers can offer you a spectrum of prices for cufflinks but the composition should pretty well dictate the price. A good starting point for gold plated cufflinks is around £20 whereas a set of good quality 9ct gold cufflinks may cost upwards of £200 and you could expect a precious stone such as ruby to add upwards of £200 to that depending on the size and quality. The costs of engraving vary between jewellers.
