The stirrup format — in which a single gold bar wraps around the cuff button and snaps closed rather than threading through the buttonhole — is one of the most secure and practical cufflink constructions, and the snap-close mechanism here is of notably high quality. The sapphire end caps, with their deep blue colour, provide a refined accent to the warm yellow gold of the bar.
