Cufflinks

The history of cufflinks goes back to the court of Louis XIV in the 17th century. It is not surprising that this elegant accessory with a practical purpose was created during the reign of the Sun King. The earliest example of what has become modern cufflinks was a set of two glass buttons linked together by a chain. The courtiers soon began to decorate a simple object in accordance with their own taste: some chose family crests and coats of arms, others favored the portraits of women they loved.
