I love cufflinks. They add a touch of eccentric cool to nearly any look. My personal preference is for double sided links connected by a solid bar. The chain's a good look, but difficult to put on in the absence of a beautiful Bond girl to do it for you. Show off some of your favorites and if they have a story behind them, tell us.
Here are some of mine. My favorites are the Vintage Holland and Holland sterling silver cufflinks. A few summers ago, our family was spending a couple weeks in NYC in an apartment we rented off of Craigslist and on Saturday afternoon, went to a big flea market there. These cufflinks were in a display case with some others with a price tag of 40 dollars. Normally, I would bargain, but knowing what they were, I felt I was already stealing them and so I paid full price. I haven't been able to find another pair of these, but new H&H cufflinks cost between 300-500 dollars. Not only are they beautiful, but I got an incredible deal. Hard to tell which pleased me more.

Here's an assemblage of some of my favorites. I took this pic to send a young lady I know from my old job who remembered my H&H cufflinks and wanted to find a pair for her father for his birthday. Nice girl, lucky dad. In the pic you'll see the Wallace and Gromit cufflinks which are fun to wear. A simple pair of MOP that are at least 100 years old that are simple and elegant. One of my favorites are the pig cufflinks. One half is the head and the other is the butt. I also have a pair of Thurston braces with pigs on them and they generally get worn together.
Another of my favorites, and you can still find them, are the enameled pair called the 4 Vices. Each link is different and the art is of: Woman, Wine, Horses, Cards.

Allright, show us what you got now.
