Fashion Accessories for the Motoring Gentleman from GTO London

Filed under: Luxury Cars & Autos, Men's Style

Some people are easier to shop for than others. Connoisseurs of fine wines, cognac, whisky, cigars and any of a dozen or more different forms of the finer things in life will be easy to please come the holiday season. Lovers of classic cars – be they owners themselves or simply enthusiasts – have no shortage of gift options available to them as well. Case in point the latest collection from GTO London.

Now those three letters will be immediately recognized by Ferrari fans as having adorned some of the most devastatingly quick vehicles ever produced in Maranello: the '60s-era 250 GTO, the 288 GTO of the '80s and the latest 599 GTO. These accessories for the motoring aficionado may not be licensed by the factory, but they certainly carry the same spirit.

GTO London is an offshoot of GTO Engineering, one of the world's experts in classic Ferrari restoration. Their range includes such items as cufflinks, wallets, tie pins and – suitably enough – keychains, of course. They're crafted from leather, silver, gold and even reclaimed "real Ferrari metal" from GTO's restoration projects.

Yael Sonia "Solo" Designer White Gold Men's Cuff Links

by Ariel Adams (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Men's Style

The designer Yael Sonia is open about the fact that many of her jewelry and accessory designs are inspired by classic children's toys. This inspiration is particularly evident in her "Perpetual Motion" line of products that each have an enhanced sense of visual interest and charm through the presence of a continually shifting component in the items. In this case, Yael Sonia takes a men's staple accessory and adds a caged orb to the look.

These are the "Solo" men's cuff links. Crafted from 18k white gold, each cubic cuff link is constructed like a cage for a perfectly rounded light purple amethyst gem stone. The whole point is that the spherical stone has room to jostle around a bit – perpetually moving with your actions. The result is an innately satisfying addition to what can normally be stale business attire. Yael Sonia products are available in her boutique shop located on Madison Avenue in New York City. Retail price for these white gold "Solo" cuff links is $3,072.

Of all the watchmakers trying to bring the automotive theme to your wrist, few carry it off quite like BRM. The French watchmaking atelier crafts unique timekeeping movements with engine-building techniques prominently displayed in racing-themed cases with very car-like five-figure price tags. BRM is the king of automotive wristwatches, and it is looking to secure its place on the wrists of the rich and car-crazed with this latest set of cuff links.

Inspired by the cross-drilled brake discs on racing cars, these 18-karat rose gold and polished steel cuff links are available at luxury retailer Berdorf Goodman for $2,050, so unless you're planning on using a gold card to buy these gold accessories, the fastest thing they may be stopping is payment.

Filed under: Jewelry

Prince Charles will soon be launching a luxury line of cuff links and ties. The new cuff links will be released in limited edition, made of silver and enamel in "arabesque" designs, and are scheduled for release later this month under the label Traditional Arts (which so far has only included houseware items). By the end of the year the new goodies should be available here in the States and around the world. And don't worry, you're not paying to support royal amenities like fine china for afternoon tea -- all the profits go to charity.

Locket Cuff Links, Father's Day Gift of the Day

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Jewelry

While a locket pendant may be a traditionally female accessory, there is no reason why men should have to forgo the locket concept altogether. After all, proud fathers like to keep their kids as close to their heart as their mothers do. But since a traditional locket isn't entirely appropriate, why not opt for a pair of Square Locket Cuff Links as a Father's Day Gift? The cuff links are made of sterling silver and measure 5/8x5/8-in. Each opens to accommodate two photos and it might be worth investing in some good quality photo-editing software to get your digital family photos down to the appropriate size. Engraving of a single initial into the front of each piece is available at no extra charge. Price: $130.

Diamond Animal Charms for Pet Lovers

Filed under: Jewelry, Pets

It can be difficult for pet lovers to find elegant animal themed jewelery or other decorative items. Too often, the only options are either inexpensive or poorly made. Though inexpensive is not always a bad thing, sometimes a purple plastic cat charm is not the most appropriate accessory. Andrea Levine decided to fill the market gap with some beautiful pet charms. The pave-style diamond charms are available in yellow and white gold, with a variety of colored diamond options. There is a cat charm, two horse charms and 19 different dog breed charms to choose from, and the charm can be attached to anything from cuff links to a pendent necklace.
