Cufflinks are items of jewelry that are used to secure the cuffs of dress shirts. Cufflinks can be manufactured from a variety of different materials, such as Sterling Silver Gold Enamel metal, precious metal or combinations of these. Securing of the cufflinks is usually achieved via toggles or reverses based on the design of the front section, which can be folded into position. There are also variants with chains or a rigid, bent rear section. The front sections of the cufflinks can be decorated with gemstones, inlays, inset material or enamel and designed in two or three-dimensional forms.

Cufflinks are designed only for use with shirts that have cuffs with buttonholes on both sides but no buttons. These may be either single or double-length (“French”) cuffs, and may be worn either “kissing”, with both edges pointing outward, or “barrel-style”, with one edge pointing outward and the other one inward so that its hem is overlapped. In the US, the “barrel-style” was popularized by a famous 19th-century entertainer and clown, Dan Rice; however, “kissing” cuffs are usually preferred.

 

THE PROCESS OF ENAMELING

Though there are many variations of enameling, the overall principle is the same. The process starts with a glass compound typically consisting of quartz sand, iron oxide, potassium oxide, and borax, which together are colorless. Various metal oxides and chlorides are then added to create different colors. Enamel can range from opaque to transparent. The compound is mixed, crushed, and washed until it is blended into something called a fondant. The fondant is applied to a pristine metal and allowed to dry. The piece is then heated to a precise temperature until the enamel melts and fills the space it’s in, becoming shiny. The piece is taken out to cool, and then polished with a carborundum file.
