Men's jewelry starts with metal cufflinks

Metal cufflinks come in a variety of styles--Plain gold oval cufflinks and Diamond Cufflinks; In the 1950s S, enamel cufflinks with photos of photographic models and novel faucet cufflinks were used; Compass and road signs-- In this field, there seems to be no room for complete recreation. After all, this connecting item composed of chain and T-shaped iron has not improved for 50 years. But recently, the situation has begun to change. 'I have been wearing cufflinks for a long time and I am tired of the lack of innovation in this field,' media entrepreneur Anthony Hayward (Anthony Hayward) 'For example, the watch industry has been innovating, but not in the cufflinks industry. However, the way a person wears double cuffs is an essential part of a person's hobbies. A clever cufflink can be a design declaration. The same is true of the enterprise Armrevolution he founded. The company's goal is to build a team of designers who graduated from jewelry and industrial design and completely change the face of cufflinks. After two years of research and development, the company's achievement is to release a series of 6 styles, each made of Japanese steel, each of which will apply for a patent, each of them saves irrelevant designs and focuses on various new devices: a flat steel bar with outward opening parts on it, so that Cufflinks can be fixed after passing through button holes; The S-shaped bend that can rotate can be fixed in a square shape; More radically, a cufflink with a twisted design does not connect the two ends of the shirt together, but creates a certain space between them, leaving room for an extra large watch. It is not only Armrevolution that hopes to innovate metal cufflinks. The cufflinks designed by Thomas Lyte, a new luxury brand, draw on Victoria's craft and use a 'decorative nail' joint--The design originally used to prevent the knot of the anchor chain-- So that the cufflinks can more easily pass through the button hole. 'It's best to add some Brunel University design elements to your cuffs, which will add fun-- Otherwise, a cufflink may look like just a flash, 'creative director Paul Brookin (Paul Brooking) He said, 'our relationship with technology is very close. 'For custom designer Richard James (Richard James) For example, he prefers precision-cast integral metal cufflinks, 'because the binding method of cufflinks must also be considered aesthetically. Decoration is the only function of cufflinks, so they should be as beautiful as looking from the back. 'At the same time, starting from next spring, Simon Carter, which specializes in making metal cufflinks, will introduce a polished edge to its partially designed binding mechanism to improve the stability of the metal cufflinks. 'Metal cufflinks have been around for a long time. Pushing them forward is like forging steel again,' said Carter, founder of the company. 'But there is always room for small improvements, I can't rule out the possibility of improvement in the future. 'Who is buying male jewelry? The biggest collectors of high-end diamonds are all men, but the market for high-end jewelry for men has always been considered an impossible task--Sir Elton John (Sir Elton John) Except for the Financial Times writer James Sherwood (James Sherwood)Wrote. Indeed, a Saudi prince may use a 100 Karat-carat pale yellow diamond as a stamp ring, and serious collectors are willing to spend more than 50 thousand on Cartier Art decorations inlaid with jewelry ( Cartier Art Deco)Cufflinks, but what about ordinary high-income people on the street? Let's walk into Harry Winston's store and look at the 2006 American Fashion Designers Association Fashion Awards (CFDA)Men's designer of the year Tom Brown (Thom Browne). This man is famous for wearing a shrunk jacket and ankle-length suit pants from the 1950s s. He shrugged and said: 'They will adopt a less serious post-modern style. 'But the Harry Winston men's series designed by Tom Brown is a zone without irony. 'The men's jewelry people see is big and gorgeous,' Brown said. 'My idea is to design a series. If I walk into Harry Winston's shop, I will want to wear it. I do have a pair of mother-of-pearl oval antique cufflinks with a whole diamond inlaid on them. I like them very much because the style is very simple. But I want Harry Winston's men's collection to be cool and young, not nostalgic. 'Therefore, the largest white diamond in the series (2. 04 karat) It is inlaid on a ring alone, most of which are cut into unequal quadrangles and inlaid on exquisite square artificial platinum cufflinks, tie clips or rings. Perhaps the most successful piece is a dumbbell-shaped cufflinks with four black pearls hanging on a diamond stick. 'What I like about this work is the attraction of using diamonds in unexpected places to powerful customers,' Brown said. 'The reason why I like Tahitian pearls is that, they are not awkward for outsiders, so they can be ignored. 'Related label: metal cufflinks
