How about anyone else who ordered from here?

Until the metal starts to oxidise and you get pretty green stains on your cuffs...?

Reminds me of a saved by the bell episode with the class rings

Well dosent it only oxide when it gets wet? It shouldnt be exposed to water and if it does, it would cost only $2-5 replace.

Sorry I lost track of this.

I suspect I will receive them sometime next week. I'm not expecting a whole lot for $5 a pop, but the seller clearly states in their listings that they will refund your money even if you just don't like the links. It doesn't get much better than that, no mention of returning them.

Also, I suspect the RT links are also rhodium or plated or whatever. I own sterling links which will also discolor your cuffs FWIW. I will post pics when they come (and possibly order more)

I just bought a couple, although he just emailed saying some of them were out of stock and would send alternatives. Should get them in a couple days probably.

 

[bigbris1]

Which ones did you want/get?

 

[danz24]

Im trying to buy them but keep losing the auctions. grrr.
Its wierd though in shipping costs. It says "Free Shipping" under the Buy it Now Price, but if you read in the body of the ad, it says that shipping for Buy it Now is 5.99 for 1st item, 4.99 for next.
Which one is correct?

Don't bid. Go to his store & sort by "Buy it Now". They should all be $4.99. Shipping is free no matter what the body reads.

I'm surprised I have yet to see this as a quote in someone's signature. SDF

I don't know about the skull n' bones but the others seem nic, I actually have a pair just like the pink squares. That is a good deal on them, and I agree on silk knotts. I just can't stand them, they always come loose and are not as visualy appealing either.

I'm not a Talbott cufflink enforcer like Jinda, but it's silly to think that there's no quality difference between a .925 solid sterling silver cufflink and something you can get for $3 with free shipping. I don't think all of your cufflinks NEED to be Talbott, but having just sold about 15 pair of them in the B&S I can testify that all of my other cufflinks now feel cheap by comparison.

I'll be interested to see how these look when people start to receive them.

edit: Forgot - I'm neutral on silk knots. You can get them pretty cheap in a multi-pack at off 5th. I think the pairs that are rolled like a small barrel are a nice twist.

Keep an eye out on Ebay for vintage cuff links. You'll find that the antique double-sided and snap type links are a much better value and will hold their value greater over time.
