Dragons never looked so good on your French cuffed shirt.

HONORABLE MENTION: Made of 950 silver (2.5 percent more pure than sterling) and capped with citrine bullet end stones, these silver dragons are thought to symbolize nobility, royalty and good fortune -- i.e., that you can still fit into the suit you're being forced to wear cuff links for. Available at Tracey Mayer; 847.217.6647 or online at www.TraceyMayer.com
