The brio of a young Italian designer who tries to reinterpret the use of cufflinks and the attempt becomes a guaranteed success.
Once cufflinks were useful accessories for men act to close very starched cuffs, like it was used among the wealthy gentlemen of the nineteenth century.
Today they are details of class used to complete the structure of an elegant suit or a tuxedo at a formal ceremony.
Fashion has often overlooked cufflinks, relegating them to symbols of social status, pieces of precious metal with engraved initials of noble families, monotonous, classic and always a little out of fashion.
Valentina Stammelluti tried to dust them again, adding a touch of uniqueness, taking care of the details by hand and using precious stones.
Most cufflinks are boring and all have so much "sameness” says Valentina that’s why she allowed men (as women always did, do and will) to wear a little work of art creating a collection of limited edition cufflinks that have already become a symbol of luxury in the world of the modern gentleman.
All the cufflinks are in 18kt gold and precious stones. Secret Garden start from the delicacy and whiteness of the pearl adding a splash of colour in the decoration made by hand. Cocoa and Ylang Ylang are hand carved mother of pearls brown and white. Sunset and Capri are mother of pearl with an exploit of colours red and blue to highlight in a simple but precious way a more informal suit. Le Dandy and Le Crystal Dandy are pearls in a dandy style. Sardinia and Chateau d’Yquem are transparent gems, a real set of precious stones. Savannah, Caramel, Oci Ciornie, Coral Reef and Brunet are suitable for all budgets, great gift for a friend to get them passionate about jewellery for men. Last but not least Habibi, no comment, undoubtly the most precious of all, they are available only on request, a piece for Sultan of Brunei.
Even the packaging reflects the elegance and sophistication of Miss Stammelluti’s work: a black velvet jewel box, finished in gold and sealed with red wax.
Valentina Stammelluti cufflinks can only be purchased online.
