Materials used in making cufflinks can be made from almost anything, and decorated with almost everything, from precious stones to repurposed novelty junk. Gold, silver, and platinum  are the most favourite type of cufflink.

Below are various cufflink materials

The carbon  fibre cufflink

This a strong, contemporary material with sleek, silvery surface that can easily be coloured during manufacturing process. Very popular and very common for all metal cufflinks especially in modern designs.

The Enamel Materials

This is a popular material for adding coloured or black gloss atop a metal surface, made  from fused, powdered  glass. It creates a smooth, shiny surface and is quite durable, although it can slip if struck against a hard surface.

Mother Of Pearl Materials

This is a pale, glossy material sourced from seashells. This is the same material used to make high-quality shirt  buttons, so cufflinks made from it can closely resemble shirt buttons. Commonly seen on the cufflins for formal and semi-formal outfits.

Precious Stones

These are stuffs from diamond rubies, and emeralds to citrine and opal. Obiviously a high end option, with styles ranging from austere and simple to downright gaudy.

Titanium

This is a very strong durable option with a low-gloss gray colour. More reserved than stainless steel or sterling silver.This is as a result of its engraved and etched detailing that would wear down quickly in a softer metal.

Stainless Steel Material

It is a  simple, durable and practical option, suitable for business and casual wear.

Sterling Silver

It is bright and reflective with more shine than stainless steel or carbon fibre

Onyx

This is a crystaline form of quartz available in many  shades, including white, purple, blue and black. Often used as the black material in formal weak cufflinks.

Crystal Material

It is a versatile and common choice for sparkling cufflinks, available in almost any colour,   shape and size imaginable.
