CUSTOM GOLD OR SILVER CUFF LINKS, HIGH END GEMSTONE CUFFLINKS
Many men would prefer to wear silver cuff links rather than cuff links made in solid gold. The reason is that cuff links made from sterling silver could have a good silver weight and therefore appear to be sturdy and reliable, just like men are supposed to be. You could make heavy cuff links in gold too but the price would be quite high. Another interesting fact is that, silver cuff links with the right design look classic and majestic as they grow old. Kaisilver silver cuff links can also be ordered with gem stones of your choice and this adds a new dimension to men's style and fashion.

If you have ever tried to buy a pair of cuff links made in sterling silver you would have noticed that there are many cuff links without any gem stones. These silver cuff links could contain interesting shapes and also have the added attraction of colors, however these colored cuff links use colored enamel or paint or pieces of colored glass, resin or some such material. So why choose gem stones? for your silver cuff links? The gem stone cuff links that you see on this page have genuine gem stones set in them. The practice of wearing ornaments with gem stones has been going on for many centuries and gems are selected for various reasons. There is a traditional belief in almost every country that, birthstones represent the birth date of every human being.

Which are the gemstone colors suitable for men? We have already mentioned above that your Kaisilver silver cuff links can be ordered with an unlimited choice of gemstones. In most cases you would expect the gemstones that are set in your cuff links, to match the color and design of the shirt that you wear them with. However there are a few popular choices that most men prefer and these include blue lapis, black onyx, deep blue topaz, malachite and white colored gemstones like white topaz. It could be that silver gem stone cuff links with these gems would match with many shirt colors. For example, blue topaz cuff links would look great on a white shirt, a pale blue or dark blue shirt, and even a pale pink colored shirt. Similarly, silver cuff links with black onyx would look awesome with almost any shirt color.
We would like to make a specific mention of a few other gemstones that would also look good for cuff links in sterling silver. Pale (yellow) citrine would look good on shirts that have an overall shade of cream or brown or even black. Citrine gemstone silver cufflinks would also look good with shirts that have a fine or bold print on them. If you wear a white shirt, the choice of gemstone cuff links immediately increases as there are many gemstone colors that look good on a white shirt. Deep red garnet in a pair of simple silver cuff links would look perfect when worn with a white shirt. There are numerous gemstone colors that look good with white shirts and white is also the most common color for men's shirts.
Suggestions for shapes and sizes of silver cuff links: The common shapes for cufflinks in sterling silver are oval, round and square. If you choose gemstones that are not very expensive like, topaz, onyx, agate, malachite, moonstone, carnelian, citrine etc the gemstone can be the same shape as the cufflinks and the gemstone size would be almost as large as the cufflink itself. However, gemstone silver cuff links with gems like aquamarine, tourmaline, iolite, ruby, sapphire, tanzanite etc would have one or more smaller size gemstone as these gems are not cheap and can command a high price in sizes that are large.
Regarding the size of silver cuff links, you should go for a size that you feel comfortable with. The silver metal itself is modestly priced and there is therefore no point in choosing tiny lightweight cufflinks. Normal sizes for cuff links are around 1cm to 1.5cm in length, the width would be in a similar range. If you are looking for a bold look, consider square sterling silver cufflinks with a size of around 2cm. The center gemstone can be much smaller and be bordered with a generous band of sterling silver. When you decide the size of your silver gemstone cuff links, remember to keep a proportional weight for them. Large size cuff links with low weight can be flimsy and could also have delicate mountings for the gemstones. In the short run the price tag might look cheap, but frequent repairs and modifications would ultimately add to the price.
We would like to mention a little about fancy cuff links where the shape and size would be influenced by the design of the cuff links. Silver cuff links with a fancy design can be made with or without gemstones. Such cuff links could depict an animal, a bird, a sports bat, or any other object. For example, a sterling silver cuff link could be made in the shape of a rose or even a leaf. You could also create a stunning pair of silver cuff links in the shape of a butterfly, a dog, a cat etc. Another idea to make a pair of fancy silver cuff links would be to use gem stones cut in fancy shapes. The options are limitless and since Kaisilver silver cuff links are individually made and not mass produced, you are limited only by your imagination.
