On the very top you have a sterling silver cat cuff links, semi-3d. In the middle is a cuff button*, Victorian era in a guillouche flower pattern. The last is a pair of proper chain connected cuff links in a purple and white enamel design. They all cost under $20 on eBay; really less the sterling links are what brought the price higher.
In Praise of the Link Between My Sleeves
How does one secure the cloth on his arms but around one's wrists
Buttons buttons is the answer most commonly heard
Gentlemen, if that comes to mind then you've probably missed
The joys of cuff links in the shape of your favorite bird
Varieties galore, just implore at your nearest store
Sterling Silver, Ivory Sliver, snapping closed or simply with a lever
They'll definitely catch the eye of the one you adore
Difficult to put on, No your not clever
Push it through one side then manipulate it through to the other
They can add interest, elegance, and whimsy. Trust me my friend they are worth the bother
How does one secure the cloth on his arms but around one's wrists
Buttons buttons is the answer that most will say
Gentlemen, if that comes to mind then you've probably missed
The joys of cuff links that move and are fun for play
*Cuff buttons were a simpler form of cuff links made to look like buttons for everyday wear. They were composed of a short metal staff in between an elliptical. Some were simple metal for workers and others were mother of pearl, shaped like actual buttons. Those are the ones that sell for a steep penny at retailers and on eBay.
