Landum Vintage Cufflinks at a very friendly price

The first cufflinks appeared in the early 17th century.
They were an original alternative to ribbons and lace to retain handles.
Considering at the beginning as a personal adornment, it was reserved to the high social class population.

cufflinks espouse centuries through various designs: from the art deco in the 30's to the extravagant and eccentric in 1960 among the Hollywood stars.
The most expensive pair of cufflinks ever sold were a pair given to the soon-to-be 
King Edward VIII by his later wife Wallis Simpson. These featured diamonds 
set in platinum and sold at auction for $440.000
