Amazonite Cufflinks
$325.00
Cufflinks first appeared in fashion in the 1600s. However, the cufflink didn’t become popular until the end of the 18th century. The downturn of ribbons and ties, which typically held men’s shirts in place at the wrist, quickly fell out of style. Thus, the cufflink was introduced as a mark of a high-class man during that time. At first, the cuffs of a men’s shirt were considered an undergarment. Historians suggest that, much like a woman’s style of exposed ankles, the rise of cufflinks also encourage men to reveal their cuffs which were considered very risque at the time. While cufflinks have become less scandalous over the years, they remain an incredible asset for adding flair to any formal style.

Amazonite is a beautiful gemstone known for its striking turquoise to green-blue color, often with white streaks or mottled patterns. It belongs to the feldspar mineral group and gets its name from the Amazon River in South America, although it is not found there. Instead, it is typically found in various locations around the world, including Russia, Brazil, India, and the United States.
Amazonite has been used for centuries in jewelry and decorative art due to its captivating color. Amazonite is believed to have calming and balancing effects on the mind and body. It is said to promote harmony and inner peace, helping to reduce stress and anxiety. Some people also associate it with encouraging self-expression and fostering communication.
As with all gemstones, it is essential to handle amazonite with care to avoid scratches or damage. Clean it gently using mild soapy water and avoid exposing it to harsh chemicals or extreme temperatures.
To care for sterling silver, regular cleaning with a soft cloth and mild soap is recommended to remove dirt and oils. Proper storage in dry conditions can help prevent tarnishing. Additionally, avoiding exposure to harsh chemicals and moisture can extend the longevity and beauty of sterling silver items.
To wear cufflinks, select a shirt with French cuffs or double cuffs, fasten the cufflinks through the cufflink holes by aligning the front face of the cufflink on the outside of the cuff and the fastening mechanism on the inside, and wear them with confidence to add a touch of sophistication to your ensemble.
Style our cufflinks by coordinating them with your shirt and other accessories, opting for classic designs for formal occasions and experimenting with unique or colorful ones for casual settings. Our Amazonite cufflink adds a touch of sophistication and elegance to any outfit.
