Nowadays,

Bellow, you can see a brief paragraph which gives more details
about the inside part of cufflinks which we think will not pass
unnoticed in the exclusive world of fashion, luxury and
elegance.
What are
cufflinks for shirts? FELDO cufflinks are a type of decorative closure used to keep
closed the shirtsleeve which does not have any button or
buttonhole but instead, two buttonholes on both sides.
This kind of cuff is called double-cuff and FELDO
cufflinks are
used to join both cuffs of the shirt. This is a mainly masculine
clothing accessory.
How many parts do
cufflinks have? Cufflinks are
formed by a small cylinder or a chain to keep closed both parts
of the cuffs. One visible part, usually a disc shaped element is
the fixed component. The other one, a smaller pin element is
hidden at the backside and it is used to maintain the fixation.
The pin can be one piece that fits through the buttonhole or two
pieces which are joined through the buttonhole. Some FELDO
cufflinks have a pivoting cylindrical part perpendicular to the
visible part in order to facilitate the
placement in the cuff of the sleeve.
The flat
element is the most important of FELDO cufflinks due to
the fact that it is the visible part. It is almost always
decorated and can take many different forms. They often include
a monogram or other kind of decoration. Cufflinks for shirts are
made off diverse
materials however the most important one is
metal. Materials such as gold, silver, platinum, pearl ivory or
even gemstones can turn FELDO cufflinks into a real piece of
jewelry.
A little history… How
were cufflinks born? Cufflinks are a rather recent
clothing
accessory. The first
cufflinks appeared in Europe at the beginning of the 17th
century. Until that time, laces and picots were used to fasten
elegantly shirtsleeves. The first cufflinks were two gold or
silver buttons joined by a chain. Sometimes, buttons could be
replaced by gold coins. The development of cufflinks is related
to the beginning of the Industrial Revolution at the end of the
19th century when the manufacturing of mass production of
cufflinks at a affordable price allowed the creation of a wide
variety of different models. The evolution of cufflinks is
closely linked to the evolution of shirts as an essential
clothing element. In the 20th century cufflinks became important
elements
for clothing. Little by little, cufflinks for double cuff shirts
appeared however they were still used by the aristocracy and
businessmen. In the 70s, shirts with buttons appeared and
cufflinks were considered as created with the most
prestigious materials.
Sophistication and
elegance over time Cufflinks are considered to be a very elegant clothing
accessories and they are very demanding in some professional
environments where
elegant clothing is required.
We can find cufflinks with suits for businessmen, bankers,
officials and in ceremony costumes as weddings, gala events or
ordinary dinners. FELDO cufflinks can be also used to cover the
button of the shirt as a button-cover. They are the
indispensable
accessories for dress coats and tuxedos.
The revival of the cufflinks Leading jewelers of the 20th century were
inspired by diverse artistic movements such as Cubism or Art
Decó to create new designs. The revival of cufflinks takes place
in the 90s thanks to fashion designers’ new creations. Cufflinks
returned to the market more extravagant and they became an
irreplaceable fashion accessory both for
men and
women.
What are the right
cufflinks? Everything depends
on the style of the clothing you want to add the accessory. The
elegance and style of the whole always depend on each and every
element which forms it. The right cufflinks should have the right
colour. You should choose FELDO cufflinks with the same colour
of the shirt but with different brightness. You can also choose
cufflinks with similar colours or very closed in the chromatic
circle or as a third option, you can choose complementary
colours, that is completely opposite colours. The colour of the
shirt and the cufflinks should be identical to other clothing
accessories, as for instance the tie, belt or shoes (they must be
always the same colour).
The right cufflinks should be made of a material combined with
other clothing accessories as the wristwatch or the belt buckle
or they should have the same colour (gold and golden metal).
Therefore, if you wear a gold watch you should also wear gold
cufflinks. How to choose the
cufflinks that best suit you Cufflinks are decorative elements which are not as popular as
they used to, it can be said that they are in danger of
extinction, however they are decorative accessories which can
provide our clothing with a touch of elegance. Furthermore,
these luxury accessories are essential if you want to wear
double cuff (French cuff) shirts or a suit.
If you wish to wear cufflinks for shirt but more casual or
informal, you can use trimmings cufflinks either knot or knot
and bar. Cufflink designs vary widely: there are a wide variety
of colours and however these cufflinks are not suitable to be
used in formal events.
Knot cufflinks both in silver (affordable) and gold, or even
with semi-precious stones such as jade, lapis-lazuli, onyx,
coral or turquoises are the ideal clothing accessory for any
occasion. There are also cufflinks with a wide range of shapes
and possibilities as well as classical cufflinks with pearls and
coins.
Types of shirts and how to
wear them The shirt is a garment that has not changed a lot since it was
first introduced at the beginning of the 19th century.
Originally a shirt was an undergarment worn exclusively by
men
used with outerwear clothes such as jackets. A white shirt was a
symbol of aristocracy because they were the only ones who could
keep them clean. Nowadays, a white shirt
still
maintains its distinctive character that combined with luxury
cufflinks will give you a great touch of elegance.
Shirts can be distinguished by diverse factors such as: fabric
(cotton, silk or others), colour, design (plain, striped,
printed), clothing (custom-made or in series), types of collars,
sleeves or cuffs (with cufflinks or buttoned) and the use of the
shirt.
A good shirt requires that sleeves cover the entire arm up to
the wrist and even a little more.
How to wear a shirt A shirt should be made of cotton or silk, and the sleeve has to
cover all the arm up to the wrist even to the middle of the
hand. Also the cuff must be larger than the jacket sleve.
The collar’s points should be attached to the shirt and they
should not move for lack of rigidity. Dress shirts must have
French cuff or double cuff to show luxury cufflinks. Nowadays
there are clothing accessories called button covers for those
shirts which do not have double cuffs which try to simulate
cufflinks for shirts.
A classic shirt must have a yoke that is a back seam which is
used to adapt the shirt to our body. Shirts also use to have
collar stays which a are smooth and rigid strips to stabilize the
collar’s points. The most widely used material for buttons is
plastic but the most elegant is pearl which is being used less.
The shirt cuff should consist of several folds, two bottoms and
two buttonholes horizontally arranged to prevent the cuff to
open.
Types of shirts
1. English collarr This is the most useful collar in dress shirts. This collar has
longer points than casual shirts collars.
2. Italian collar The main difference between the Italian and the English collar
is that the Italian one is shorter and wider and their points
are more separated each other. Both English and Italian collars
are very used in dress shirts. The collar points should be rigid
to avoid bending.
3. Button-down collar This collar is very similar to the English collar but this one
is a collar with buttonholes on the points to fasten them to the
body of the shirt. This casual collar is not very elegant for
formal events so it is important to avoid its use in important
events. This collar comes from America.
4. Collar pin This collar (also known as collar clip or collar bar) holds the
two ends of a dress shirt collar together with a pin or safety
pin. This collar was very common some years ago. This kind of
shirt should not be used as a dress shirt.
5. Detachable collar This is a removable collar to change it. This collar was widely
used in the past, in the early 20th century to avoid wash the
entire shirt and give a neat and clean image. Nowadays this
collar is not longer used.
When we choose a garment we should pay attention to some
accessories to show our own image.
Production stages
of FELDO cufflinks FELDO cufflinks are
manufactured in different stages, so the manufacturing of
cufflinks is a difficult and long task. Below you can see some
images of the diverse manufacturing stages of
FELDO cufflinks.
Stage 1
Stage 2
Stage 3
Stage 4
- At the first stage, a drawing
of the finally developed FELDO cufflinks is done to calculate
the materials needed and to make an idea of how these cufflinks
will be. Then the next stage starts.
-
At the second stage, the first idea is transformed into a
digital drawing in order to provide more realism as well as to
enhance the materials are going to be used. -
At the third stage, with the digital drawing FELDO cufflinks are
performed in CAD, to know the real measurements, dimensions and
make more real the first drawing of FELDO cufflinks.
-
At the last stage, the CAD drawing is made to perform a small
prototype to test and match them with the rest of FELDO
accessories to show the final product.
Materials used for FELDO
luxury cufflinks
Carbon The carbon fiber is very used for FELDO cufflinks. This
material has both a fiber and a plastic compound,
therefore it is very resistant as well as very light.
This material is always present in our wrist watches and
cufflinks. Due to its strength, resistance and stiffness,
this material is very used in the aeronautical,
astronautically and in the automotive sectors.
Ceramics The word ceramics used in our cufflinks comes from the
ancient Greek "keramos". At that time, this element was
used for products made with moulds resistant to cooking.
The production of ceramics is one of the most ancient
jobs of the humankind. Now, ceramics is used in diverse
fields of modern life as for instance for the
manufacturing of wrist watches, knives and even for
thermal-links in the astronautically sector. Thanks to
its colours and contrasts, FELDO cufflinks become very
attractive for the customer.
Sapphire crystal FELDO cufflinks can have scratch resistant sapphire
crystals. The sapphire crystal can be used in cufflinks
due to its high resistance. This material is
artificially produced and its resistance is only
exceeded
by the diamond. Also, this material does not reflect
virtually nothing. With the previously mentioned
properties, FELDO does not hesitate to use this material
in the manufacturing of its cufflinks.
Kevlar The kevlar is another material that can be also used in
FELDO cufflinks. This material is very resistant to
breakage and abrasion. Thanks to these properties we can
ensure that our FELDO cufflinks will have a long life.
The kevlar is also used in many different technical
fields, the best known is the use in security systems
(body armor, helmets, vehicle protection, gloves for
skating) as well as in modern speakers.
Cooperr Cooper, gold and silver were the
first metals discovered by the humankind. Cooper is very
easy to process so this metal was used in ancient
cultures about 10.000 years ago. Cooper is used to
produce coins, electric cables, cutlery, taps, boilers,
precision elements, works of art, etc... FELDO also uses
cooper in the elaboration of its cufflinks due to its
great properties and beauty. Cooper is a very good
conductor of both heat and electricity. Thanks to its
brightness and its importance in history, cooper is
particularly interesting for the manufacturing of FELDO
cufflinks.
Rubber The plastic known as rubber is used in almost of the
different sectors due to its great ability to absorb
shocks as well as its insulation quality. This material
is also used in clothing, tires, or landslide coating.
FELDO uses this material in a different way to create
its
cufflinks and other design items.
Gold There are ancient jewels from the year 5.000 b.c. Since
that moment this precious metal has been always present
in our culture. Nowadays, this luxury material does not
only appear in FELDO cufflinks but also in electronics,
industry and many other fields.
Titanium Titanium, in contact with air, produces an oxidized
protective cover extremely resistant to corrosion. Both
its low relative density and its high resistance is very
interesting to be used in diverse sectors where high
resistance with a lightweight is required. FELDO uses
this material in its cufflinks due to its light weight
and extreme resistance.
Stainless steel Nowadays stainless steel is one of the most important
materials. Stainless steel is an alloy of steel and
other elements. Some of the advantages of stainless
steel are its high resistance, anticorrosive and
thermo-resistant character as well as its quality to be
easily processed. For these reasons, stainless steel is
used in FELDO cufflinks.
Manufacturing of the cufflinks FELDO cufflinks
are made in a German factory where the best experienced
engineers regarding to jewelry, aeronautics, etc.. work. FELDO
uses for its clients’ welfare, the best materials, design
innovations, and the best manufacturing process for its
cufflinks, using its own design which cannot be found in the
market not only due to its complex
manufacturing
and great design but also FELDO uses the best protections in its
cufflinks in order to avoid to be copied.
The brand FELDO can show off exclusive and
perfectly made cufflinks so its production is not a mass
production but FELDO makes a mini-series production
to create a limited number of cufflinks. The customer will be
able to purchase and wear original and exclusive FELDO
cufflinks. Also, the most important FELDO manufacturing
procedures are carried out by hand so FELDO cufflinks are almost
perfect. In most of FELDO cufflinks, carbon is used. This is a
strong and very flexible material as well as an essential
element in modern engineering such as aeronautics, astronautics,
etc...
FELDO cufflinks are produced by the best jewelry engineers.
Every cufflink has to overcome some exhaustive tests, checking
its resistance before launching it to the market. We can
guarantee that if you acquire FELDO cufflinks you will have an
unique piece for life, as our main focus is quality. FELDO not only produces cufflinks but also other products such

FELDO designs its cufflinks using the best materials fo the
market. The attention is on the a different technical
presentation. In a short period of time,
cufflinks have become in a very valuable jewel due to its
functionality and beauty.
Thousand years ago a jewel was a very usual fashion accessory and
today everybody wears at least one jewel. Within this definition of jewel we consider any
decorative accessory either a
bracelet, a necklace, a ring, or
one of the FELDO cufflinks. Nowadays a jewel is mostly used to
be shown. Many centuries ago a jewel was considered to have both
a material and a magic value.
They were mostly heads of family who were constantly adorned
with the most expensive jewels and were so inaccessible as
powerful. Nowadays, jewels are still used to show our position
in the society and ambition. For most people a jewel is one of
the most beautiful accessories to define a person.
Let us go back to the impact of the cufflinks along the history.
Every night clothing becomes more important with the right
cufflink. Cufflinks are always a beautiful accessory. Fashion
designers show a lot of strange shapes for cufflinks. Diverse
colours, shapes and measurements are created and combined
together with different materials. In this way, it is possible
to crate a cufflink for every customer.
