Product Insights
Tateossian's Round Carbon Cuff Links ($340) marry a unique, hypoallergenic carbon fibre weave with a palladium-plated bezel that will gradually wear on high-contact areas while the carbon fibre face resists microscratches. The clear enamel coating protects the weave and adds glossy depth, and the swivel back closure allows one-handed dressing. Each pair features a distinctive weave pattern and an RT engraving, handmade in Birmingham's silversmith district. The matte-and-palladium aesthetic suits global settings, but the plating is a tradeoff: it offers a warm white lustre and tarnish resistance but will wear over time, unlike the enduring carbon fibre.
Verified claims
- Plating wear
- Palladium plating may wear off on high-contact areas with regular use.
- Material
- Genuine black carbon fibre weave with palladium-plated base and clear enamel coating.
- Hypoallergenic
- Nickel-free carbon fibre material is hypoallergenic.
- Global aesthetic
- Matte carbon and palladium palette suits boardrooms from Tokyo to Milan.
- Founder's signature
- RT engraving on toggle ties cufflinks to founder Robert Tateossian's personal story.
- Origin
- Made in Birmingham's historic silversmith district by handpicked metalworkers.
- Ease of use
- Swivel back closure enables one-handed dressing; chain-link styles need two hands.
- Locking mechanism
- Swivel back is the most common cuff link closure, using a 90-degree rotation lock for security.
- Weave uniqueness
- Carbon fibre weave pattern is unique to each pair.
- Protection
- Clear enamel protects carbon weave from fraying, scratches, and dirt.
- Visual depth
- Enamel creates a glossy, three-dimensional surface that shifts with the light.
- Scratch resistance
- Carbon fibre face resists microscratches better than gold or platinum.
- Bezel plating
- Palladium-plated bezel may wear over time while carbon fibre face stays intact.
- Metal finish
- Palladium plating gives a warmer white lustre than stainless steel and resists tarnish.
- Craftsmanship
- Made in Birmingham, UK, by a brand known for rare materials like meteorite and dinosaur bone.
- Closure mechanism
- Swivel back closure is secure and easy to put on with one hand.
- Design uniqueness
- Each pair has a unique weave pattern because carbon fibre texture varies per piece.
- Durability
- Palladium plating resists tarnish like platinum but gradually wears on contact points, unlike solid steel.
- Care
- Swivel back for easy fastening; plating may wear with use.
- Cleaning
- Clean with a soft damp cloth; no abrasives or chemicals.
- Storage
