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.Cuff Links by Prince Charles

Handmade in Italy, 100% silk and featuring signature prints recognizable by their organic look, you can guarantee that wearing a Kiton will bring you a slew of compliments. Available in luxury men's boutiques worldwide, the green flower tie is also available online for $235.
Stefano Ricci Crystal Tie
Crystals are frequently added as accents on women's clothes and handbags, especially during the winter when dark colors need a bit of flash to dress them up. Designer Stefano Ricci decided to apply the same principle to some of his ties. He added swirls of tiny Swarovski crystals to this Italian Silk Formal Tie. It certainly will get some attention and won't fit in everywhere you might want to wear a tie, but it's the perfect choice if you want to get noticed. Price: $1,105.Perspective Silk Ties
Designed by Sovereign Beck, a New York-based pair of designers, Perspective Ties are a lovely variation on a traditional striped tie. The ties come in navy and asphalt gray and feature cleverly spaced lines that create a horizon just in the center of the tie. The illusion is subtle, but somewhat mezmerizing, so don't be surprised if you catch someone staring at it - particularly if you're in a dull meeting. It is 100% silk. Price: $90.
Father's Day Gift List: Top Ten Ties
Father's Day started in 1910 and though there is no record of when the tradition of giving Dad a tie began, they are the quintessential father's day gift. Unfortunately, the more popular ties were as a gift, the less attractive they seemed to get and before long, father's seemed to dread getting "another ugly tie" - as though they were often besieged with such ties. But ties are useful and, thanks to more than a few good designers, there are a lot of fantastic looking ties. Here are some of our favorite picks for Dad this Father's Day.
If Dad likes a bit of a vintage edge to his clothing, or simply doesn't seem to have completely gotten over his fondness for his younger, wilder days, Ben Sherman's warm, vintage brown silk tie with a geometric, floral pattern is one he'll love $59.50.
