Hi im looking for some silver cufflinks, they will be worn with a white face SS watch and dark suit. Budget is relatively small at £100 to £180 Can anyone recommend anything?

I had a look in the local shops in Prague but did not find anything nice so will order one from the uk

the first ones are fantastic, could look perfect, depends on how much the blue would stand out, would make a good focal point tho.
2nd would be perfect for your scenario.
both fantastic.

out of interest (cba looking as im a lazy bast!), how much are the first pair?

For cuffs without buttons. They look swish is what they do

Used on double cuffs(where it's twice as long, and you fold them over).

They're actually quite annoying, but there's something cool about wearing them so I do for 6th form(we have to wear suits).

I have next £6 ones. £100-180 is silly money imo.

It's not silly money if you're earning silly money in the first place

I've got loads of pairs of cufflinks, probably about 20 pairs. My entire collection probably cost about £120 though.

Next do nice ones.

I'm also a bit shocked at your budget. I'd say a relatively small budget would be £30 or so for some enamel jobbies. You should have a peek at Lewin's range as they seem to be perpetually on sale these days. I'm afraid my knowledge doesn't extend far past Jermyn Street, so I'd be checking out Pink and Tyrwhitt too.

Agreed. TM Lewin ones are pretty nice and rather more reasonable.

Platinum plated for £38. I've got the same pair with a red 'iris' and they look gorgeous.

Don't like any of those Tiffany ones - esp those with the name on, basically just say to people 'look at my expensive cufflinks from Tiffany'.

Imagine this:
£700 suit
£100 shirt
£150 shoes
£2000 watch
£20 highstreet cufflinks...

In this situation paying £100-£180 for a properly nice set of cufflinks isnt really that big a budget.

have to agree with that in this case, however some people value that in their image.

Toye Kenning & Spencer make nice, affordable cufflinks. My favourite pair are made by them, and 'only' cost £25.
