Tie Clips, Cufflinks & Collar Stays

Start with the shirt and the metal. Cuff links only work on a French (double) cuff or a convertible cuff — they won't go through standard button cuffs, so check the shirt before you buy. For the backing, bullet (whale-back) and ball-return closures are easiest to fasten one-handed; fixed and chain-link styles look dressier but take two hands. Match the metal across the table: sterling silver and rhodium for a tuxedo, brass or gunmetal for warmer suiting, stainless for everyday wear. A tie bar should be narrower than the tie — about 1.5 inches for skinny ties, 2 to 2.25 for standard — and clips between the third and fourth buttons. Shirt studs replace the front buttons on a tuxedo shirt and usually come in sets of four with matching links. Handmade engraved cuff links run about $20-$70 a pair, tie bars $15-$50, and full stud-and-link sets $50-$130. Many stock pieces ship in 3-7 business days; custom engraving adds roughly 1-2 weeks.
