Cufflinks gained their popularity back in the seventeenth century. They were created by men who desired to have something more sophisticated on their clothes other than buttons. In the past men created cufflinks by attaching a gold and silver button to a small chain, and then pulled them through the hole of a cuff to keep both the shirt and the jacket attached.
In time, cufflinks were beginning to be used for the most sophisticated men. Men who wore tuxedos or any type of formal and informal wear were often found with the most decorative cufflinks.
At recently, cufflinks is the indispensable accessories for men. On the kind of sense, cufflinks is identity, status, a symbol of taste.
