High-Quality Custom Luxury Cufflinks

Most of the cufflinks we carry measure 1-2 cm (3/8-13/16 inch). There is no standard size for cufflinks. That’s because each design is unique. We consider the designer’s personal preference and your brand’s style more critical than standard sizes.

We support a variety of custom cufflink backs, the following are the most common fixtures for our custom cufflinks.

Torpedo and bullet shaped backs are frequently used by our customers. Grinder and bullet-shaped backs are very simple to use. They utilize a simple rotation mechanism. Simply flip the buckle vertically 90 degrees into the post and slide it through the cuff. After passing through the cuff again, the back clasp is finally flipped 90 degrees to secure it in place.

Whaleback snaps lock back snaps similarly in that they are first placed flat on a straight post and then inserted into the cuff. The tail is then flipped back to secure the cufflinks. Unique designs and your brand logo can be added to these back snaps, making them a popular choice for personalizing luxury cufflink brands.

Fixed back clasps usually have a curved post and act as a solid structure because the back clasp will not move. Inserting the cuff can be difficult as there are no parts to move, but it allows us to add unique designs and brand logos to the backing. The fixed back closure can also be designed to be reversible, leaving you with a variety of wearing options.

Chains are the classic cufflink backing. A small chain connects the two sides of the cufflinks, leaving the wearer with a variety of options as to which side to display. This style may require a little more effort to wear (similar to a fixed back button), but they are more suitable for wearing on loose cuffed shirts.

Cufflinks are majorly made of the following commonly seen metals:

Stainless Steel: Extreme base metal used to make cufflinks. Perfect match for high-quality cufflinks.

Titanium: The strongest yet ultra-light metal to make cufflinks, but offers less possibility for creative ideas, as it is too hard to do normal processes like etching, engraving, etc.

Brass/Copper: This metal is the best choice when detailed 3D engraving is required, as it is softer but strong enough.

Zinc: This alloy can be used when small details and cuts are expected for your custom cufflinks, which is soft and less solid, but an economical choice.

Silver: Mostly refers to sterling silver. It needs to be plated with a strong coating like rhodium.

Gold: We usually use 14k gold to make cufflinks.

Based on the BaiQue team’s experience, if your cufflinks project is geared towards a customer base that is very cost conscious and your task is more detailed and colorful, we recommend using copper/brass to produce your custom cufflinks. And suppose you have high requirements for the cufflinks’ overall durability, the structure’s precision, the fit between the parts, and the solidity of the plating. In that case, stainless steel is undoubtedly the best choice. In our factory, there is no such thing as the best material, only the most suitable one – depending on the requirements of your project. Of course, although we can make cufflinks from every material to the extreme, our favorite material is stainless steel.

To make luxury cufflinks, we can first consider starting with high-end materials, such as gold and silver cufflinks.

Secondly, for accessories such as face pieces for cufflinks, many high-end brands will choose genuine gemstones, diamonds, and rare materials such as meteorite pieces and amber. In terms of plating, silver cufflinks are generally plated with rhodium, which makes them durable to a high level, while rhodium is also a representative of precious materials.

And a very sophisticated design, with many small accessories, the mechanical cooperation between each other requires a high and obvious sense of technology; cufflinks are also a kind of luxury cufflinks.

Technically speaking, a type of cufflink called button cover cufflinks allows people to clip them around the buttons on the shirt.

Usually, people don’t use button-cover cufflinks alone. Still, in cufflinks and stud set, and our factory, our team has a lot of experience in manufacturing these unique structure cufflinks.

The core manufacturing issues for these cufflinks are the structure’s durability, the control of the elastic strength, and the choice of materials for the flexible spring structure.

We have almost redefined the structure to meet the basic needs of users but also consider the smoothness of opening and closing, sufficient elasticity, and silent performance.

To balance these factors, we developed dozens of molds for this purpose. This dedication to craftsmanship keeps us moving forward and at the forefront of the industry.

To customize a cufflink in your brand style, you first need to understand the positioning of your current cufflink projects, such as a luxury cufflink or one geared towards your client’s demographic, such as a groom or best man cufflink.

Many customers ask us what materials make the best cufflinks. There is no standard answer to this question. Our factory uses stainless steel, copper, titanium, zinc alloy, silver, gold, and other materials to make cufflinks.

From an industrial point of view, the material that offers the most variety and is most preferred by artisans and designers is undoubtedly stainless steel. Stainless steel cufflinks are not only durable, but they are also much better than other materials in terms of texture performance and workability.

Of course, we also often use brass and zinc alloys for our clients’ economic cufflinks projects. For cufflinks projects that are worthy of luxury, from material to accessories, we use silver and rhodium plating and gold as the primary material. We match with some genuine stones or rare accessories such as meteorite fragments.

Once the material and accessory issues are resolved, we have to consider whether the design of the custom cufflinks itself is complex and demanding in terms of details and component fitting. If the plan is simple, our factory usually uses casting or die-casting methods to produce the prototypes of most of the parts of the cufflinks.

We will generally work with multiple CNC machining for complex designs to ensure that the details and parts fit together very well.

The process of making customized cufflinks:

The process of customizing your cufflink projects is simple. First, we will assign our factory’s most experienced designers and artisans to work with you online using a live chat tool to optimize your design. After the procedure is finalized, we will make the molds and roughs for the first round of sample submissions.

Once you approve the quality and details of the first or multiple rounds of samples, we can produce large quantities. If your project is in a hurry, we can also consider the product’s materials, accessories, and processes at the design stage. After confirming the design and getting your approval, we can prepare the materials at the sample development stage and wait for the complete sample to be approved for quick mass production. In our factory, we can arrange your requirements flexibly.

Assemble your customized cufflinks with care:

We have a special assembly line to assemble all the accessories. The assembly tools and configurations are more complex and detailed for products with more parts and details like cufflinks.

The most important thing in the process of assembling cufflinks is to seal the film to protect each accessory that needs to be combined so as not to bring scratches to the surface of all the accessories during the assembly process manual operation.

When gluing accessories on the face of the cufflinks, such as some stones or wood, great care should be taken not to spill the glue and contaminate the rest of the cufflinks. We usually have to do several times of polishing on the parts that involve welding to remove welding marks.

Workers need to be especially careful when assembling the toggle back structure to protect the recessed locations because they are so small that if they are scratched, it will take a lot of effort to deal with the scratches again.

Custom cufflink branding packaging is essential because it can help differentiate your company’s cufflinks from your competitors. Good packaging can also make a cufflink brand more attractive to consumers, which can help drive sales.

We can produce custom-branded boxes exclusively for your brand. Please visit our Custom Packaging page for more information on custom designs.
