Cuff Links for Grooms & Dads

First check the shirt: cuff links only work with French (double) cuffs or a convertible barrel cuff that has a second buttonhole, so confirm the wearer owns one before buying. Then pick a closure. Whale-back and bullet-back swivels are easiest to fasten one-handed; fixed-back and chain links sit flatter but take more fuss. For material, brass and stainless steel are everyday-durable, sterling silver dresses things up, and enamel or gemstone faces add a shot of color. Sizing is forgiving — most faces run 15-20mm — but heavier links can drag on lighter shirts. Engraving is where these earn their keep as gifts: initials, a wedding date, GPS coordinates, or a short hidden message on the back only the wearer sees. Handmade pairs here typically run $20-$45 for brass and stainless, $40-$90 for sterling silver, gemstone, or photo-set links. Many stock pairs ship in 3-7 business days; custom engraving usually adds 1-2 weeks, so order early for weddings.
