Choosing cufflinks

Adelie

I'm trying to find a pair of cufflinks as a present. I've looked in some clothes shops and jewellery shops, but the problem is I've no idea what I'm looking for! I'm a girl buying for a guy so I don't want to just trust my own ideas of what looks good. The ones I've seen are all between E25-E40, which is cheaper than I was expecting and makes me wonder if those are really good ones? It's not that I want to spend a fortune, just that it's a present and I want to get something a bit special so I'd be willing to pay more. And then I've no idea whether I should choose gold, silver, black, coloured, plain, patterned... So I'm wondering:

Where should I look? I'm based in Galway, or I can buy online. Even general suggestions are useful (e.g. clothes shop or jewellers?)

How much to pay to get good ones? I'm looking for something special rather than just basic ones.

Any tips on styles? E.g. colour-wise, shape-wise, etc. He likes to dress well and look stylish but still look slightly different and individual. I'd like to get something quite versatile, that would do formal occasions or business wear.

Try Louis Copeland.
He's a master tailor and sells cuff links.
Look at his website.
Also try Saville row website.
It's a London-based upmarket men's outfitters and they too sell cuff links.
Hope this is some help.
