Cufflinks have been around for a very long time. Perhaps not ?forever?, but for several centuries. Back in the day, around the 13th century, men?s long sleeved shirt cuffs were held together by ribbons, strings, and ties. Then in the 1700?s the French developed what they called ?boutons de manchettes? ? sleeve buttons ? which were two ornamental buttons connected with a small chain.
