These miniature works of art actually predate the shirt. According to the

National Cufflink Society, evidence of their use can be found in ancient

hieroglyphics in King Tut's tomb. But cufflinks as we know them were first

used during the 1700s. No one knows exactly when the cufflink arrived. Its first mention in

writing was in 1788, but for sometime before that buttons had ceased to be

decorative and cuff-fastening slits were being cut into clothing. The

ribbons or tape ties of the past were replaced with luxurious items, often

made with gold or silver and set with gemstones. These were an extravagance

reserved for the wealthy classes and were all hand-made.
