Cufflinks Get Creative: How Jewellers Are Reinventing a Classic

Recent takes on the cufflink aren’t what you might imagine. Enlivened by scintillating gems, pieces from Dior and De Beers to breakout stars of the jewellery world are turning their attention to rarefying this classic accessory…

A few Christmases ago, I was gifted a pair of cufflinks. Made in stainless steel, with square faceting that resembles mini geometric blocks, the cufflinks are part of the Ice Cube jewellery collection from Swiss maison Chopard, a range which takes its cues from the Bauhaus movement of the early 20th century. They’re by no means flashy, but they’re certainly elegant and I’ve always thought of them as a more interesting - and elevated - take on a classic accessory.
