I don't wear cufflinks often but my nicest pair are oval art deco enamel ones, navy blue with a deep red zig-zag 'lightning' (with gold edges) going across. The colour tones are dark, so from a distance they look quite plain. I really like art deco, in cufflinks and elsewhere.

Hey FNB. I have a number of shirts with that mitred cuff. Someone told me that it avoids the problem of fraying your cuffs while working at your desk. I just happen to like them.

Shirt was by Ede & Ravenscroft at Chancery Lane, London. With a white contrast collar.

My present humble collection ( four sets ) favourite is a set of gold and blue Amita from Japan.
I grew up in the shadow of a nasty parental divorce involving a japanese third party. I had a love/hatred of things japanese until my father's passing.

I won these on EBAY, still tied into their wooden box. They are chained, the common motiff of Mount Fuji, huts and pine trees.I first wore them to a  local production of The Mikado by Gilbert and Sullivan. Nobody in my family understands G & S.

I have cufflinks now associated with a pleasing memory, unlike the oppressive objects brought back by father.

Something on cufflinks for anyone who cares:
