As most users of cufflinks know, cufflinks (aka cuff-links aka cuff links) come in different types of ‘backing’. Some common types are as follows:
Double-faced Cufflinks: Considered the most formal type of cufflinks, these cufflinks have two similar faces joined together with a metal bar.
Chain Cufflinks: These cufflinks are similar to the Double-faced Cufflinks, except that a chain connects the two faces instead of a metal bar. Other accessories (such as the wearer’s initials) can be hung from the chain.
Snap-on Cufflinks: Also with two similar faces, the two (separate) faces are snapped together through the cuff hole to secure. This type of cufflinks are easy to wear, but also has a higher chance of sliding off.
Snap-on Cufflinks: Also with two similar faces, the two (separate) faces are snapped together through the cuff hole to secure. This type of cufflinks are easy to wear, but also has a higher chance of sliding off.
Push-through Cufflinks: The backing of the cufflinks is a rounded end, and is pushed through the cuff hole to secure. Again, it’s easy to wear, but also runs a high chance of sliding off.
Swivel-bar Cufflinks: These cufflinks have a swivel bar as its backing, which is aligned with the post when pushed through the cuff, and locked at an angle that is perpendicular to the cuff hole to secure. This type of cufflinks runs the least chance of sliding off.
We have definitely done our research before purchasing our stocks, which is why all the cufflinks we offer at GreatValueBuys have swivel-bar backing. J Some push-through cufflinks may look good, but buyers should be informed about the ‘risks’ of wearing such cufflinks. I go through much distress when I lose one side of my earrings, and I certainly do not want my customers to experience what I went through when they lose one side of their cufflinks~!
