Wearing Cufflinks with the Confidence of a 1940's Executive

cufflinksFor most men, cufflinks may have the stuffy air of old formalities and antiquated social rituals, but like most vintage trends and with the help of shows like Mad Men cufflinks are making a comeback in a big way. Cufflinks are no longer just for formal events and are an easy and relatively inexpensive way to give a suit multiple new looks. When matched with a suit correctly, cufflinks add an air of refinement and class unlike any other men’s accessory. Materials still include the classics of gold and mother-of-pearl, but with modern additions such as carbon fiber and titanium, it’s obvious that these cufflinks aren’t just for your grandpa’s cocktail party.

How to Wear Cufflinks

Cufflinks are worn with shirts that sport a French cuff. The French cuff is exactly like a normal dress shirt cuff with the exception that there are no buttons. French cuffs were traditionally used for formal shirts but these days they have been incorporated into more casual shirt designs. The cuff, usually heavily starched to keep it stiff, is folded over and buttoned with a cufflink. When the cuff is folded, line up the two button holes and thread the cufflink through. Dress shirts without the folding French cuff can easily be tailored to be designed for the use of cufflinks.
Cufflinks have several mechanisms in which to keep the buttonholes of the sleeve together. The swivel bar can twist to align parallel with the body of the cufflink so that it can be threaded through the button holes, and then once through the holes, it twists out to be perpendicular to the body of the cufflink. Cufflinks can also have a button mechanism where two pieces of the cufflink will have a button shape with a bar or chain attaching them. The smaller button can be threaded through the button holes and a button is then shown on each side of the sleeve. The whale back enclosure is similar to the swivel, except the end of the cufflink to be threaded leans from one side to the other. Cufflinks also come with a fixed backing, which means the cufflink has a fixed post and backing that do not shift.

How to Match Cufflinks

The key to matching cufflinks with your suit generally relies on what other accessories you’re wearing. The cufflink color should match your belt buckle and your wristwatch. Brown shoes usually call for warmer colored cufflinks, like gold, and black shoes should lean towards cooler-colored metals like silver and titanium. Any other colors found in your cufflinks should be in the same color range as your tie or dress shirt. Solid colored cufflinks are usually a safe bet as it means they are likely to match more outfits.

Cufflinks also come in all varieties of sizes, designs, and materials. If more traditional cufflinks designs aren’t your preference, there is a wide range of novelty cufflinks sure to suit your style and unlike novelty ties, novelty cufflinks aren’t considered to be tacky. This flexibility and accommodation to different tastes is also what makes cufflinks great gifts.

Choose the Best Diamond Shape for Your Engagement Ring

Congratulations! You’ve found the love of your life and you both want to get married. Now what about that ring? Diamonds come in about a dozen standard shapes and if you don’t know your rounds from your radiants, have no fear. Below we’ve listed the basic diamond shapes and their attributes to help you pick a diamond shape that suits your girl’s personality as well as her hand.

1. Asscher Diamond

asscher-diamond
The asscher-cut diamond is similar in appearance to an emerald cut diamond, excepts that it takes on a square shape with cut-off corners and has a total of 74 facets. Depending on how much of the diamond’s corner is removed, an asscher-cut diamond can take on an octagonal look. Like the emerald-cut diamond, the asscher diamond shows off the diamond’s clarity and any thus any flaws. However, because of the clipped corners, an asscher diamond will have more sparkle than an emerald diamond.
The asscher diamond was created by the Asscher brothers in Amsterdam in 1902. This diamond has a vintage, art deco appeal as it was the popular diamond shape in the 1930s. The asscher-cut diamond is also patented by the Asscher family and every true asscher-cut diamond is marked with the family insignia and an identification number on the girdle of the diamond. These marks are only visible under high magnification, but be sure to check for them before buying an asscher. The asscher diamond has also become more popular in recent years because of its antique flair.

  • Jessica Alba from Cash Warren
  • Zooey Deschanel from Ben Gibbard
  • Chelsea Clinton from Marc Mezvinsky
  • Katy Perry from Russell Brand

2. Cushion Diamond

cushion-diamond
The cushion-cut diamond, also known as a pillow cut, is a diamond that looks like a square or rectangular cut, but with rounded corners. Cushion diamonds also tend to have larger facets for more sparkle. However, this also means that cushion diamonds are rarely small diamonds, which can be good or bad depending on your budget. Larger facets mean that the clarity of the diamond is highly visible as well. Cushion diamonds were popular in the 1900’s as the choice of diamond cut.

Famous Cushion Diamond Engagement Rings

  • Jennifer Garner from Ben Afleck
  • Ashley Simpson from Pete Wentz
  • Maria Sharapova from Sasha Vujacic
  • Salma Hayek from Francois Henri Pinault
  • Gwyneth Paltrow from Chris Martin

3. Emerald Diamond

emerald-diamond
The emerald-cut diamond is so named because of the popular shape for emeralds in the 1920s. The emerald-cut diamond is a rectangular stone with long step-cut lines. Though it may not have the sparkle of some, this particular cut displays the clarity and color of a diamond like no other. An emerald-cut diamond will show off any inclusion or flaw in the stone, so when purchasing an emerald-cut the stone will need to be nearly perfect. Emerald diamonds can also vary in how rectangular they are cut.

  • Grace Kelly from Prince Rainier of Monaco
  • Mariah Carey from Nick Cannon
  • Beyonce from Jay-Z
  • Camilla Parker Bowles from Prince Charles

4. Heart Diamond

heart-diamond
The heart-cut diamond is the ultimate symbol of eternal love. The heart diamond is more used for special occasion pieces of jewelry rather than an engagement ring, but a select few do choose this as their symbol of marriage-to-be. The heart-diamond is similar in its execution as a pear shaped diamond and the amount of sparkle and symmetry of a heart diamond is dependent on the skill of the diamond cutter, as they are difficult to cut. Because of the level of cutting difficulty, be sure to check the heart diamond for flaws before purchasing. The ideal heart-diamond has a 1 to 1 length to width ratio, but this may fluctuate depending on you girl’s finger size. Also, heart diamonds are generally made from larger stones as smaller heart diamonds lose their distinctive heart-shaped appearance.

  • Carla Bruni from Nicolas Sarkozy

5. Marquise Diamond

marquise-diamond
The story about the creation of the marquise diamond says that this cut was designed for Louis XIV in the 18th century, who wanted a diamond that resembled the seductive shape of his mistress’s mouth, the Marquise de Pompadour. The marquise diamond is a modified oval-cut, with rounded sides and pointed top and bottom. The marquise diamond’s unique cut has facets on the top and bottom to reflect the light, which gives the stone the appearance of being larger. This means you can get the most glitter out of your carat size as possible. As a result, this diamond cut is good for girls with smaller fingers as it will make the finger look longer and thinner. The ideal cut for a marquise diamond is considered to be a 2 to 1 length to width ratio.

  • Catherine Zeta Jones from Michael Douglas
  • Victoria Beckham from David Beckham
  • Portia De Rossi from Ellen DeGeneres
  • Jennifer Lopez from Ojan Noa
  • Jamie Lynn Spears from Casey Aldridge

6. Oval Diamond

oval-diamond
The symmetry of the oval diamond makes it the ideal diamond solitaire. The oval diamond has about 56 facets, which is fewer than a round-cut diamond and means that the diamond will have slightly less sparkle. The elongated oval also makes smaller or shorter fingers appear to be longer and more slender. The oval-cut diamond is also a newer diamond innovation as it was only developed in the 1960’s by Lazare Kaplan. The longer shape of an oval diamond will make the clarity of the diamond more visible as well.

Famous Oval Diamond Engagement Rings

  • Heidi Klum from Seal
  • LeAnn Rimes from Eddie Cibrian
  • Katie Holmes from Tom Cruise
  • Miranda Kerr from Orlando Bloom
  • Rebecca Romijin from Jerry O’Connell

7. Pear Diamond

pear-diamond
The pear diamond is the perfect mix of a marquise and an oval, with its rounded bottom and pointed top and 58 facets. The pear diamond has a weighted appearance and is a popular choice for many types of jewelry. The weighted feel of this stone can also generate a small slimming appearance on fingers. The ideal length to width proportions for a pear diamond should vary from about 1.45 to 1.75.

Famous Pear Diamond Engagement Rings

  • Charlene Wittstock from Prince Albert of Monaco II
  • Odette Yustman from Dave Annable
  • Bethenny Frankel from Jason Hoppy
  • Katherine Heigl from Josh Kelley
  • Anna Kournikova from Enrique Iglesias

8. Princess Diamond

princess-diamond
The princess-cut diamond was developed by Arpad Nagy in London, 1961 and combines the classic brilliant cut with a step cut. Depending on the size of the gem, this square diamond has a facet number that ranges from 49 to 144. Secondary only to the round-cut diamond, the princess-cut is the most popular shape for engagement rings. Since princess diamonds have more facets, they have more sparkle and any diamond flaws, such as inclusion, will be less noticeable because of the shimmer. This also allows for princess-cut diamonds to be cheaper as well as the fact as they are one of the easier diamond shapes to cut. Princess diamonds have also enjoyed a resurgence in popularity as the choice of engagement ring for the fashion-forward.
Princess diamonds aren’t all square either and can be found in rectangular shapes as well. If you would prefer a more square-shaped diamond, the ratio of length to width should be from 1 to 1.05. For a more rectangular diamond, the ratio should be greater than 1.10. Also, princess-cut diamonds have sharper corners that are prone to nicks a chips. As a result, princess-cut diamonds are frequently in ring settings with protective prongs covering the corners. Princess diamonds can also be found in channel settings, where the diamond is set into the band.

  • Star Jones from Al Reynalds
  • Kendra Wilkinson from Hank Baskett

9. Radiant Diamond

radiant-diamond
Radiant diamonds were developed by Henry Grossbard in 1977. The radiant diamond is a combination of a brilliant round diamond and an emerald-cut diamond with a total of 70 facets. With this number of cuts, the radiant diamond is sure to carry a lot of sparkle with clipped corners that result in a square appearance. However, radiant diamonds are not a diamond cut that is frequently carried by jewelry stores although they are increasing in popularity.

Famous Radiant Diamond Engagement Rings

  • Jennifer Lopez from Ben Affleck
  • Carrie Underwood from Mike Fisher
  • Candice Crawford from Tony Romo
  • Khloe Kardashian from Lamar Odom

10. Round Diamond

round-diamond
Round-cut diamonds are often referred to as brilliant-cut diamonds and today are the most popular cut for diamonds. Round-cut diamonds make up for 75% of all diamonds sold today. The round-cut diamond was first created by Marcel Tolkwsky, a Belgian diamond cutter, in 1919. Round diamonds are cut with 58 facets which allow for light to reflect evenly from the bottom of the stone to the top. This diamond cut ensures a good balance of cut, color, and clarity while giving you the optimal amount of sparkle. Round-cut diamonds are also well-suited for almost any mounting.

Famous Round Diamond Engagement Rings

  • Jenna Bush from Henry Hager
  • Natalie Portman from Benjamin Millepied
  • Scarlett Johanssson from Ryan Reynolds
  • Jennifer Aniston from Brad Pitt
  • Maggie Gyllenhaal from Peter Sarsgaard

Bell & Ross Presents the Vintage Original Carbon Watch

Bell & Ross’s popular Vintage Collection was developed to honor 1940’s aviators who regarded wristwatches as an important instrument for their jobs. This year Bell & Ross is scheduled to release a new member of the Vintage Original collection at Baselworld: The Vintage Original Carbon watch. The goal of Bell & Ross was to create a watch that was both true to its vintage heritage and reminiscent of a plane’s instrument panel while maintaining a powerful modern punch behind the watch dial.
Two versions of the Vintage Original Carbon watch are going to be released, the hours and minutes and a chronograph. Both watches have the circular case design of vintage aviation watches with an anti-glare, matte black carbon finished influenced by the color of plane instrumentation panels. The large Arabic numerals and white hands stand out starkly from the dark dial, both with a photo-luminescent coated that insures that this watch will be readable by night as well as day. The crystal maintains the curved design of vintage watches, but has been updated to be made of a highly resistant sapphire crystal.

Large Cool-Colored Jewelry is the Trend at Fashion Week

New York’s Fashion Week is running this year from February 10th to the 17th and the trends on the runway are showing that jewelry design for the year will veer away from clean, streamlined pieces to larger ornate designs. These more elaborate jewelry designs are to keep up with the trends of beading, ruffles, fringes, and large shoulder pads reappearing in fashion. Large, fitted cuff bracelets and clusters of gemstones will help define outfits rather than taking a backseat like in last Fall’s styles.
Cooler colors are also on the rise of popularity with greens, blues, lavenders, and pale yellows being spotted the most and in every combination imaginable. Expect to see these colors in large bib necklaces, chokers, dazzling cuff bracelets, and long dangling earrings. The bigger the better. It is also anticipated that cabochon-cut gemstones will become more favorable as the cut of choice for fashion-statement jewelry.

Going Green – Emerald Weddings & Engagement Rings

With hints of spring in the air and St. Patrick’s Day on the horizon, there will soon be plenty of green to go around. Be encouraged by the coming season and consider using green for your wedding inspiration.

Of course if you’re looking forward to an engagement this spring instead of a wedding, incorporate those springy greens into a ring. Emeralds come in a wide range of shades, from deep blue-greens to more vibrant yellow-greens. These beautiful gemstones look good as solitaires or accompanied by diamonds and also have an elegant vintage flair. Emeralds were also the choice of engagement ring for Jackie Kennedy and Wallis Simpson.

Emeralds are pretty hard gemstones, but are also brittle and contain inclusions which means that emeralds are prone to chips and nicks. Most emerald end up being treated with resins or oils to counteract this fragmenting tendency. These treatments usually result in the emerald looking more translucent. We recommend not wearing an emerald engagement ring when you’re setting out to do rough work with your hands. Emeralds are also frequently found in bezel settings, which help to protect the stone from wear and tear.

All That Glitters is Rose Gold – The Hot Metal Choice for Spring

If recent trends are any indicator, rose gold is the way to go for this spring and summer. With the cost of gold rising everyday, rose gold is quickly becoming a popular choice in jewelry design. Rose gold is a more affordable way to get all the glamor of gold without all of the expense. Because rose gold has a warmer hue, it looks great in large geometric jewelry designs because it gives the appearance of being softer to balance out all those sharp shapes.
Rose gold is an alloy of gold and copper and the higher the copper content, the redder the gold alloy is. Rose gold is also known as pink or red gold. Rose gold was first popularized in Russia in the 19th century. After a lapse in popularity, rose gold has made a quite a comeback in the last five years and is valued for it’s soft, feminine look and vintage appeal. This color of gold also looks great with any skin tone.
