The Swank Cufflinks - Value
Cufflinks can be very valuable, not for the inherent value of the materials, but also the styles and designers.
Of course, any cufflink made from gold, silver, or platinum, or made with gems have their own inherent value, but even cufflinks that are not made from expensive materials have their swank cufflink value. It’s all about the style and design. Many cufflinks derive their value from the people who wore similar ones before. If there is a photo of Cary Grant or Humphrey Bogart or Rock Hudson wearing a particular style, they can be very valuable.
Some materials are no longer in use, like Bakelite, the first plastic ever invented. Even though they are plastic, they can be very valuable.
Limited edition cufflinks are also popular. A cufflink that celebrates the moon landing or a historical event will be in great demand.
Cufflinks, styles and materials, are a statement of the times. Vintage swank cufflinks are a great way to share in the moments and styles of the past.
