Cufflinks are one of the ultimate indicators of sophistication and refinement. Classic cufflinks come in the colors of silver, gold, and black onyx. The best part of cufflinks are the fact that they can be monogrammed for a bespoke touch. Whether its your initials, your spouse's initials, wedding date, etc. We have also noticed that more modern grooms are expressing themselves through their cufflinks. For example, some grooms have cufflinks that are themes of their favorite sports teams, superhero, etc. A nice way to add some lighthearted creativity to a celebration that's very formal and serious.
