No machine can replicate the beauty of
hand engraved cufflinks.
We start with the finest designer sterling silver
cufflinks, which are then hand engraved by skilled artisans
in Avignon, France.
The process dates back to the 17th century... and can
take up to four hours to complete.
What makes the process so tedious is that
no power tools are used.
Instead, artists must use only hand
tools, brute force, and decades of engraving experience to complete each design.
The result
is a blend of old world craftsmanship, and an astounding pair of cufflinks made
especially for you!
We really enjoy monogram designs that were popular during
the turn of the century through the 1950's.
The designs you see below are from this period and have an enduring, timeless
quality about them.
In addition to our hand engraved
cufflinks, we also offer machine engraved cufflinks:
Step 1 of 4
Choose a set of cufflinks
All cuff links are solid sterling silver, vermeil (24kt gold on
sterling) or rose gold vermeil (rose gold on sterling silver)
Set three has a 14kt gold rope border. All are manufactured by David
Donahue New York.
Vermeil cufflinks make a wonderful
choice because of their beautiful two tone effect once completed!
Cufflinks arrive in a David Donahue gift box along with
the engravers personal card.
Step 2 of 4
Choose your monogram style (M1 - M8)
Monograms have a larger MIDDLE initial,
but the middle initial is taken from the LAST name.
(Example: If your name was John Henry Doe, your monogram would appear as JDH)
Please remember, because the entire process is completed by hand, each letter
is unique, and will vary
slightly in design and overall shape depending the
letters provided.
Monogram Styles
New! Celtic &
Single Letter Monograms (M6, M7, M8)
We love the simplistic beauty of Celtic hand engraved monograms and it
looks equally wonderful on circle or square cufflinks.
Having a single letter on your cufflinks (as opposed to three) increases the
complexity and detail of each letter!
Because of the higher level of detail, these styles (m6 & m7) are ONLY available
as single letters.

Step 3 of 4
(optional)
Would you like your cufflinks engraved with a
special message or date on the reverse? You can have one (or both) cufflinks engraved with a
special message, date, or both.
Because of the small letter size, no font choice is available.
Round cufflinks will accommodate
28 characters (including spaces) on the back of each cufflink. (We wrap the
words around the radius)
Square and oval cufflinks will accommodate a total of 28 characters (two lines
of 14 characters)
