I'm really picky about my cufflinks. Understated is the best word to categorize my preference and the Square Labradorite Cufflinks by Lanvin fit neatly into that description. Found on The Fancy and available on Mr. Porter for $415, the cufflinks are the opposite of the previously featured Baccarat Rock Cuff Links. Instead of a unique shape with bland texture, these cufflinks are a basic square with interesting detail. Imagined with a crisp white shirt but fitting for many more styles, they make a perfect accessory.

Baccarat is my favorite for crystal and glassware. Founded in 1764 under King Louis XV of France, Baccarat has been the go-to for the best of the best. This past quarter in US Relations in Iran, I learned that the former Shah of Iran imported Baccarat glassware for the 2,500 year celebration of the Persian empire (which reportedly cost $100 million), and I once featured Baccarat for their barware.
Below is Baccarat's Rock Cuff Links available in onyx, clear, ruby, and mist. With rhodium-plated .925 sterling silver backings, the cuff links run for $375 at Neiman Marcus. Baccarat has been creating jewelry since 1993 and they successfully pulled off cuff links without finding individuality in multiple colors, busy images, or complex layers. The design is simple but modern, the perfect detailing to a perfect outfit.
