Product Insights
Tateossian's D-Shape Cuff Buttons use genuine braided carbon fiber and palladium for a lightweight, scratch-resistant, and tarnish-proof accessory. Their swivel back rotates 90 degrees for one-handed fastening and lies flat to stay secure. Priced at $325 CAD, the independent atelier's cost goes more to materials like carbon fiber and palladium than to brand markup, a tradeoff for durability and understated design that fits most shirts without flashiness.
Verified claims
- Carbon fiber inlay
- Genuine braided carbon fiber: lightweight, scratch-resistant, tarnish-proof, and thermally stable.
- Price rationale
- As an independent London atelier, Tateossian puts more of the price into the palladium and carbon fibre construction than the fashion-brand surcharge embedded in similarly priced licensed-name cufflinks.
- Swivel back
- Swivel back rotates 90 degrees for easy one-handed fastening, then lies flat against the shirt to stay closed; it relies on spring tension and the flat position rather than a locking mechanism.
- Closure
- 90° rotation aligns bar for easy insertion; spring tension keeps it closed when flat.
- Wearability
- The cufflink face is 0.5 inches (1.5 cm) wide; the swivel-back post diameter is not specified, but standard cufflink posts of about 4–5 mm fit most dress shirt buttonholes, so buyers should measure their buttonholes to be sure.
- Brand Value
- At $325 CAD, more of the cost goes to materials than to brand markup vs luxury peers.
- Care
- Tarnish-resistant palladium and scratch-resistant carbon fibre require only occasional gentle cleaning.
- Carbon fibre authenticity
- The carbon fibre inlay is real braided carbon fibre, not a printed pattern.
- Weight balance
- The carbon fibre inlay is roughly one-quarter the density of stainless steel, so the face stays wide without adding meaningful weight; the stainless steel body keeps the cufflink from feeling insubstantial.

Compared within this brand.
| D-Shape Cuff Buttons: Choose this if you want a pair of UK-made cuff buttons with a polished silver-tone, rectangular face featuring a black woven-style inlay and knurled borders, sized at 0.5 inches (1.5 cm) wide with secure swivel T-bar backs. They suit one-size wearers who appreciate an embossed signature logo and a signature dust bag for storage. Note that only the black style uses carbon fiber, while the blue style pairs the same palladium-plated base metal and stainless steel with alutex instead.[1,2] | White Mother-Of-Pearl Cuff Links And Shirt Buttons: Choose this if you want a complete formalwear set—two swivel-back cuff links with faceted octagonal bezels plus four shirt studs—finished in polished silver-tone metal with white mother-of-pearl centers engraved in a sunburst pattern that catches the light. The set is made in the UK from palladium-plated brass and mother of pearl, arrives in a designer box, and comes in a single one-size white colorway. Note the metal is plated brass rather than a solid metal, if that matters to you.[3,4,5,6] | Asanoha Mother-Of-Pearl Cuff Links: Choose this if you want mother-of-pearl cuff links to add a stylish touch to suits: a yellow mother-of-pearl face engraved with a Japanese-style geometric pattern that creates subtle texture and catches the light, set in brass with yellow gold plating. The swivel-back fastening secures them to the cuff, and they arrive in a designer box; they are made in the UK and come in one size in the Golden Yellow colourway. Note that the brushed satin gold-tone finish shows small tooling marks on the head, stem, and disc, per the product imagery.[7,8,9] |
