Insert the cufflink and secure it. When your arm
is at your side, the decorative part of the cuff
link should be facing outwards. The way you
secure the cufflink this will vary slightly
depending upon the style of cufflinks
14Bullet back closure
15The most common of all cufflinks backings and the
easiest to put on. This style has a torpedo, or
bullet shaped, capsule that is suspended between
two posts. The bullet can be flipped on its axis
to manipulate it through the button holes in the
cuff, and then flipped horizontal to secure the
cufflink on the shirt.
16Whale back closure
17This style has a straight post combined with a
flat, solid whale tail that flips flat to insert,
and flips back in place to secure the cuff
18Fixed Backing
19Fixed backings are an extension of the cufflink
face. This means that the post and backing are
formed from the same piece of metal as the front
side of the cufflink. The backing does not bend
or move in any way. May require a bit more work
to put on, but benefit in the long run from not
having moving parts.
20Chain Link
21The most traditional form of cufflinks feature a
chain link. Chain link cufflinks are the original
form of cufflinks and are found most often in
items of English production. Chain links
characteristically have 2 sides that are joined
together by a chain link. Due to the agility
required to put them on, these are certainly for
the expert level cufflink connoisseur. The
benefit of this style is that there is something
to look at on both sides of the cuff.
Additionally, chain link cufflinks typically
allow for a looser cuff.
22Reversible
23Fixed back cufflinks that have a design on the
back end, rather than a plain fixed disc. Allows
an appealing design on both sides of the cuff and
enables you to switch what is shown on the main
side of the cuff, like having 2 pairs in one
24Ball Return
25A chain link cufflinks where the backing is
composed of a ball of silver or gold. The upside
is that they are very easy to put on and you get
the looseness benefit of the chain link backing.
The balls are also more appealing than a bullet
or plain fixed back
