Gold Plated Cufflinks

Swank Inc a popular designer and manufacturer of men’s cufflinks were incorporated on April 17, 1936. When Cufflinks peaked in the 1960’s they were making 12 million a year.

Even though these were aimed at the lowest end of the market, retailing for an average of $2.50 a pair, that still adds up to a lot of men wearing cufflinks. These days the figure is closer to 200,000, but cufflinks are making a strong comeback with gross sales having increased consistently over the last ten years, while the French cuff continues to be the most prestigious type of shirt.

Every significant movement in art can be traced through the design of cufflinks. A prime example is the art deco era of the 20’s and 30’s, one of the most popular forms used and even in modern times sought after by collectors.

The resurgent popularity of cufflinks in recent years inspired businessman Claude Jeanloz to open The Cufflink Museum in Conway, New Hampshire, in the late 1990’s. Jeanloz, who obtained his first pair as a confirmation gift from his godmother, began collecting cufflinks in the mid 1960s. After amassing a large number of them, he decided to establish the Cufflink Museum, which features over 70,000 pairs on display in 10,000 square feet - by far the largest collection in the world. Also on display are cufflink memorabilia such as vintage cufflink ads, photos and even album covers featuring performers wearing cufflinks like The Beatles and Bob Dylan, “did you say Bob Dylan”?

The general history of cufflinks is short, but sweet and reads rich of historic anecdotes. The Roaring 20’s were probably the height of cuff-link invention. Manufacturers created a variety of devices and designs to do one simple thing: allow a man to insert and remove his cufflinks with a minimum of difficulty and a maximum of security. Now there are a wide variety of mechanisms for open and closing cufflinks - some feature the classic flip-hinge; others twist off, or just button through. And then there is the sophistication of wrap around cufflinks, which are making a big comeback.

Swank happened along at the right time to take full advantage. Prior to the 1920’s, Cufflinks were made affordable to the common man, thanks to the industrial revolution, mass producing and the development of electroplating. Around the same time removable starched cuffs and collars were introduced. Almost every major U.S. business company during the first half of the twentieth century commissioned cufflinks either for advertising purposes or as gift incentives for employees or executives.

2007 sees the retro trend broadening through all facets of the fashion industry and there is a growing demand for cufflinks from the 20’s to 70’s. Swank retro cufflinks are back in vogue just like they were in days gone by. There is even a Savile Row tailor rumoured to have bought some of Swank Inc retro designs for reproducing and re-labelling.

Recently I was kindly invited to comment on the future of cufflink styles in a five year forecast. It’s like trying to predict the weather. However, I gave sincere opinions and was pleasantly surprised to learn that my comments are published as part of an exceptionally well written article by author Ms Manmeet Dawar, Content Coordinator for Fibre2 Fashion.

Cufflinks have emerged not only as affordable fashion accessories conveying your own personal style, but also as great gift items for almost all occasions, for men as well as ladies

www.fibre2fashion.com had an exclusive one-to-one with Mr. Patrick McMurray on the subject of cufflinks. He is an entrepreneur as well as strategic planning and business alignment specialist, actively involved in market research of various fashion accessory brands. He has an active interest in the evolution of fashion over the years. Mr. McMurray expresses his views on this wonderful accessory called cufflinks:

Where do you see the worldwide market for cufflinks in the next 5 years?The next five years will see an end to the whimsical style that has dominated the market since the 80s and a return to classical styles, using traditional materials like enamels. The popularity of cufflinks has risen considerably over the past two years and will continue. The brands to watch are Vivienne Westwood, Ian Flaherty, and Veritas, as they stay focused on producing small quantities and high quality.

What are the future changes that you foresee in cufflinks?The ball end will gradually replace swivel-end cufflinks. Ball ends are easier to manufacture and there are no moving parts to break, therefore they have increased longevity. There will be more focus on culminating colour, pattern, and texture proportionately to achieve more classical finishes.

What are the key elements of a good designer cufflink?Functionality, longevity, proportions, and materials are prerequisites to good enameled cufflinks. Colour pattern and texture have to be well balanced, enamels achieve the best results.

According to you, what is the major role of a cufflink? Do you view it as a fashion accessory or as a functional instrument?Talking about the role of cufflinks, Mr. McMurray states, “Cufflinks first and foremost perform a function. They were originally conceived to do so, decoration came later. Remember -one of the core principles in design is - Form follows function“.

Their approach was very timely because simultaneously we were launching a new range of enamel cufflinks under an unknown brand name. A very difficult exercise given the crowded market conditions that are setting the terms and conditions of sale.

We decided early in the piece to target the higher end of the market. To succeed at that level means supplying the highest possible quality product that is relative to price.

To help achieve this end I have the good fortune to know Keith Davis a gifted men’s jewellery designer. He is closely associated with The Toye Kenning Spencer Group of companies who own and operate highly respected brand “London Badge and Button”, designers and manufacturers of high quality enamel cufflinks.

So we’d gathered all the components required to produce.

But, at some point during the selection process we had to delve a little into the history of enamel jewellery. After all, fashion is a culmination of the past present and future. To design successfully we learn from the past, act in the present and plan for the future. Research becomes a very important step in the design process.

A very brief history:The first cufflinks appeared in the early 17th century. They were an original alternative to ribbons and lace to retain handles. Considering at the beginning as a personal adornment, it was reserved to the high social class population. In the 19th century, during the Industrial Revolution, the development of precious metal electroplating afforded the masses to get cufflinks in their wardrobe. A wide variety of mechanisms for open and closing cufflinks appeared: the classic chain is replaced by the flip-hinge. Jewellers like Cartier and Tiffany crafted work of art cufflinks in mother of pearl, crystal; precious stones…These famous fashion names establish cufflinks as the essential accessory for men. Mirror of our history, cufflinks espouse centuries through various designs: art deco at the end of 19th century, extravagant in the period 1940-1950, eccentric in 1960 with Hollywood stars and whimsical today.



After considerable research and due consideration the natural material choice for us was enamel not even resins can mirror its brilliance or durability and that’s why it remains the most popular choice of for Jewellers.

And to complement our cufflinks we are working on a range a brilliantly coloured floral silk tiesall cut made and trimmed in England.

Cufflinks have emerged not only as affordable fashion accessories conveying your own personal style, but also as great gift items for almost all occasions, for men as well as ladies.

A glance into past is foundational to creating styles for the future. Men’s jewellery marks a new creative direction for many established and emerging designers. Their energies are harnessed in the products of their own ideas, now available in a myriad of forms.

A new sense of freedom emanates from each creative stroke of the artist pen, to flash finally with crystals and silver.

An ever expanding range of French cuffed shirts appear on the horizon giving men the variety they deserve. Any opportunity for decoration is worth its while.

After many years of repetitive styles the demand is relieved by wise enough retailers, well researched, keeping one eye on the weather. Just a quick browse in any upmarket department store will reveal more than a dozen brands offering fragrant grooming to taunt any man.

An all time favourite Hugo Boss splash on after shave. Just a small dose is enough to last the day, coupled with a subtle hand lotion to barrier against the harsh environment of air conditioned offices.

If you really want women to notice, then a little adornment won’t go astray. Polish your shoes, be a little extravagant in your choice of floral silk tie, a freshly ironed shirt, a close shave, clean finger nails and you will be prepared for any occasion (in a red skirt)

In the midst of an urgent market, a wide variety of mechanisms for open and closing cufflinks appeared: the classic chain is replaced by the flip-hinge. Jewellers like Cartier and Tiffany crafted work of art cufflinks in mother of pearl, crystal; precious stones.

These famous fashion names establish cufflinks as the essential accessory for men.

The looking glass of our history, cufflinks espouse centuries through various designs: art deco at the end of 19th century, extravagant in the period 1940-1950, eccentric in 1960 with Hollywood stars and whimsical today.

Now as the dress down trend wanes, the dress up style is about to dominate as it has for centuries, broken by spasmodic fashion fluctuations, a testimony to style ever constant. The classics are always waiting in the wings.

Don’t balk at the cost of these little gems. The value captured in each piece will last a life time, ready to pass onto the next generation.

The flavour of the past decade in material choice is enamel.

Recommendations.

Simon Carter shirts are wisely packaged with a free set of cufflinks and collar stiffeners. Enough to entice customers back to include his ever expanding range into their collections.

Duchamp is experts in collating colour pattern and texture across the board from their luxurious shirts to their hallmark paisley ties and matching cufflinks.

Veritas design for the individual and for the corporate sector. Their unusual approach to product development has won them many awards. They have never moved too far from conservative classics.

Patrick McMurray; fusing enamels articulately is inspired by the brilliance of Pueblo Deco, Art Deco and the natural environment, which is captured and framed within geometric forms. The result is a small range of hand enameled cufflinks that reek with individuality, a reflection of the designer himself.

It’s the independents that are outstripping more prominent names like, Oroton, Boss, and Gucci. Side by side, the later lack lustre and originality.

Creating individuality in design requires great attention to detail and a lot of time and effort. Many brands simply license their products to manufacturers or select from a narrow range of samples, so the essence is lost from the start and it becomes more obvious when on display in the high street.

So when browsing, choose wisely and by doing so the value of your purchase will be retained for a life time.

Like no other fashion accessory, the silk tie has crossed continents and cultures and sustained countless fashion cycles to become the epitome of male self expression. It forms the backbone of the modern day silk route as more than 100,000,000 ties are sold in the USA per annum, alone. In fact it remains the single most popular Father’s day gift. How many hang darkly in closets never to see the light of day. Choose wisely; avoid flashing trends, like novelties they wear off.

Aside from being stylish decoration, it defines class, culture, school and regiment, wear as you like, you will be judged. All the colours are well archived and can be woven to order at silk weavers scattered remotely across the English country side, but you must prove your regimental identity, otherwise take a hike.

Class or no class you can own distinction, the end result is the same, self expression. In England it’s worn tight lipped, in America, loudly.

And then there is the rag trade language describing all the component parts; the blade, gusset, under end, tipping, bar tack, inter-lining, fully lined, self loop, machine made or handmade.

There’re enough words there to write a song for the listener to interpret, the lesser the tie, more of the make, it’s about quality. If you’re in anyway associated with the trade and industry, you must learn the lingo or you loose out to questions with no answers, and your customers won’t like that.

It would be easy enough to waffle on about historic events of these little fashion accessories, because history has a habit of repeating itself. And since the introduction of the net, it is repeated on millions of pages and easily accessible. To do it again for the umpteenth dozen time is nonsensical, we’d rather flap about what’s on the boil now. And it’s hot.

If you like three minute eggs, then we’ll make it quick. So many brands have said all that can be said, but there is only one that reins true, Vivienne Westwood. Her full range of accessories for men, each piece holds value in quality and the artistic prowess of a gifted designer.

Naturally we sing Vivienne’s praise, after all we are one of the few online shops authorised to sell her collections.

For those more conservative, but less inclined to sift through racks upon racks of generic assortments, then have a look at Patrick McMurray designer silk ties for a change. There are not many, which make choosing easier.

Now to conclude in complete contradiction of what we said about history: Here is an anecdote about another very popular accessory; the cufflink. —- Keep in mind the cufflinks themselves pre-dates the shirt.

In fact, according to the National Cufflink Society, there is evidence of cuff fasteners in ancient hieroglyphics and even in King Tut’s crypt. The introduction of the French cuff in the mid 1600’s moved the cufflink from the realm of practicality to personal adornment, as royalty commonly wore these decorated cuff fasteners.

In the late 1700’s, new link styles appeared and were soon adopted by the middle class and tradesmen. By the 1840’s cufflinks were usually found in the form of gold, silver, or pearl buttons held together by metal, often brass chain.

At Patrick McMurray, we know the makings of the goods we feature; each piece is history in the making.

We are furthering the silk tie proliferation, by featuring, uniquely, Vivienne Westwood, Timothy Everest, Simon Carter, Victoria Richards, Ian Flaherty, Shane McCoubrey, Michelsons, Cressida Bell, Veritas, London Badge and Button, Patrick McMurray and Louis Feraud.

About Naval lace and Hand & Lock; A London Company that still makes gold lace, a fascinating story, here is a taste. In 1767 Goldlacemen called Hand, originally Huguenot Weavers from Flanders, added embroidery to their range of laces, cords and braids. Their skills came from the entourage of Catherine de Medicis, when she married into the French court in the 16th century. They learnt the ancient Italian secrets of gold lace and made them their own. It was at this time that heraldic art was used to provide a sign of distinction and to recognise the wearer’s achievement. Garments trimmed with gold lace and embroidery set the wearer apart. The measure of their rank and status was the quality of their apparel.
