Everyone knows that most guys don’t wear bling. Rappers are an exception.
Men’s jeweled wedding rings also are not exactly the norm though Cartier did try to make them more macho with the addition of screws.
I’ve been obsessing about cufflinks because these subtle accessories are one of the few places guys can dress up and be creative in a subtle way. They also make great gifts.
I got Mr. Chic ‘n Cheap these cufflinks from the Barney’s outlet. We both thought they were a unique pair with a beautiful rich emerald color and red flecks. They were a splurge but these are his birthday present which he will also wear at the wedding. Yes, no need to buy a separate wedding present!
I’m still thinking of getting more as gifts (dad, maybe some of our vendors). Cuff-daddy seems to have a great selection.
Here are a few fun ones:
Offset blue crystals (subtle pops of color) – $38.99
Nightime windows (I can see this with a tux) – $18.99
Laptop cufflinks for the programmer guy – $33.99
Golf bag and ball for someone‘s favorite activity – $28.99
These are all really great. I just posted yesterday about cufflinks made from old subway tokens, just in case your looking for more ideas.
Hmmm. Not sure about guy wedding bands with diamonds, I do like the screws though (a little closer at least).
Those cufflinks look great!! And the price is very reasonable too!! I like the last one… with the golf ball.
Thanks for the heads up about CuffDaddy. I went on there and bought 2 attendant gifts. They’re great and really original 🙂
@thealternativebride – glad you found them useful! They’re pretty well priced and have an amazing selection!
