A cuff link is a beautified fastener for men, used to link the two parts of French cuff, usually on a dress shirt or blouse. One thing to note will be the cuff is designed not to fasten overlapping it self as the other button cuffs will do.

Generally these cuff links are used to fasten designed simply with one post, one short cylindrical portion like chain which used to join two disc parts. One of the disc is designed to fit correctly into the button hole of the cuff, as well as the other part which is visible is designed a little wider bearing the designs. Usually some designed or alphabetically initialized cufflink is used in these parts of the cuff link.

When you wear cuff links for the first time take a notice of the occasion you want to attend. And also foresee for what others will wear for that occasion.

To tie the cuff with the cuff link, first close the swivel bar and insert the cuff link through the button holes from outside.
For security you may open the swivel bar.
