The right colors & metals
When choosing quality cufflinks you should also consider colors, metals and gemstones.
Silver, gold, white and black are color tones that are easiest to match with any outfit, crystals or gemstones match a more formal outfit.
Brighter colors like red, blue or purple are more pronounced and can be a good choice for confident and stylish men who will pair them with appropriate shirts and blazers.
A commonly used metal is sterling silver. Stirling silver is silver alloyed with copper, which consists of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% copper. Sterling silver is also stamped to indicate that it is genuine sterling silver. These stamps are usually: "925" or "92.5" or ".925" to indicate the purity of the silver in them.
Rhodium plated means jewelry made from a base metal of gold, silver or other alloy that is coated in a thin layer of rhodium for extra strength and shine. Jewelry plated with rhodium is shinier and more durable than other metals. Rhodium plating will not scratch, dent or corrode and retain its shine.
If you are looking for high quality, rhodium plated jewelry is your best choice.
