Materials used in making cufflinks can be made from almost anything, and decorated with almost everything, from precious stones to repurposed novelty junk. Gold, silver, and platinum are the most favourite type of cufflink.
Below are various cufflink materials
The carbon fibre cufflink
This a strong, contemporary material with sleek, silvery surface that can easily be coloured during manufacturing process. Very popular and very common for all metal cufflinks especially in modern designs.
The Enamel Materials
This is a popular material for adding coloured or black gloss atop a metal surface, made from fused, powdered glass. It creates a smooth, shiny surface and is quite durable, although it can slip if struck against a hard surface.
Mother Of Pearl Materials
This is a pale, glossy material sourced from seashells. This is the same material used to make high-quality shirt buttons, so cufflinks made from it can closely resemble shirt buttons. Commonly seen on the cufflins for formal and semi-formal outfits.
Precious Stones
These are stuffs from diamond rubies, and emeralds to citrine and opal. Obiviously a high end option, with styles ranging from austere and simple to downright gaudy.
Titanium
This is a very strong durable option with a low-gloss gray colour. More reserved than stainless steel or sterling silver.This is as a result of its engraved and etched detailing that would wear down quickly in a softer metal.
Stainless Steel Material
It is a simple, durable and practical option, suitable for business and casual wear.
Sterling Silver
It is bright and reflective with more shine than stainless steel or carbon fibre
Onyx
This is a crystaline form of quartz available in many shades, including white, purple, blue and black. Often used as the black material in formal weak cufflinks.
Crystal Material
It is a versatile and common choice for sparkling cufflinks, available in almost any colour, shape and size imaginable.
