How to read a UK hallmark02 / How it fastens
Chain link
Two decorative faces joined by a short chain. Both faces show, so the cuff sits open and softer — the traditional choice for evening wear.

- French (double) cuff only
An ordinary barrel cuff — one layer of fabric with a button sewn to it — has no second hole and cannot take this article. Compare the cuff types
We state the mechanism and suggest checking the fastening each time you put the article on. We make no claim about how securely any mechanism holds.

06 / About this article
Two woven balls joined by a short chain — the shape of a fabric silk knot, made in steel wire so it holds up to repeated use.
Chain link mechanism: both balls show, and the cuff sits open. The least expensive pair we hold, and the one to start with.
