Dating back to the seventeenth century, King Charles II, who was famous for the form and function was known as the origin for the modern cufflinks. Mens fashion in that century was shirts with lacy fronts and cuffs. Only a string is used as a tie to keep the cuff around the wrist. King Charles used an ornamental decorative button to pin the cuff of his coat to show more lace in his shirtsleeve. For the time being this is modified and the decorated buttons changed in to modern cufflinks. Over time, the cuff link developed and became a more sophisticated part of a man’s wardrobe, especially for tuxedo usage and formal attire. With the varying types of stones, precious metals, fabrics, and design, the cuff link became the new well-dressed man’s staple. During the nineteenth century, businessmen of varying classes began wearing cufflinks and stud sets for more casual wear, expanding beyond the traditional gala or evening event.
