What (if anything) would you do with a single cufflink?

One is lost. I'm guessing the remaining link is garbage, but maybe some one is more creative than I am.

Wear with other single cufflink. This looks best if the two are nowhere close to matching. Can you pull it off?

Assuming you have the correct metal in your remaining link, there are several firms that have sprung up in the past couple of years that can help you with this problem:

Gold Kit

Cash 4 Gold

Get Gold Cash

If the links can be thematically related, I often prefer to mismatch than match. Like so:

I agree -- Nothing wrong with mismatched but thematically related links. The more I think about this, I may do it myself even when I have two of each.
