Cuff links are one the few pieces of jewelry that men are allowed to wear, other than a wedding ring, a watch or perhaps a ring bearing the family insignia or a tie-pin. Whether they are made of precious stones or shaped like an animal, these tiny pieces of jewelry can express a tremendous amount of style and creativity.
Bertrand Pizzin has one of the most exquisite and varied collections of cuff links in the world. This book takes a tour of that collection, highlighting the famous dates in the evolution of the jewelry, exploring the various styles used over the past two hundred years and examining the role they have played in fashion.
Featuring the best pieces by Van Cleef, Cartier, Tiffany and others, Cuff Links is a little gem of a book and the perfect gift for Father's Day or any day.

Through a lack of archaeological and literary evidence, as well as recent political upheaval, Himalayan jewelry has never been systematically studied, much of the information on the subject being derived from accounts of Western travellers or...
