=== Fabric cufflinks === An alternative type of cufflink is the cheaper silk knot which is usually two conjoined [[monkey's fist]] or [[Turk's head knot|Turk's head]] knots. The [[Paris]] shirtmaker [[Charvet (shirtmaker)|Charvet]] is credited with their introduction in 1904.<ref>{{cite book|last=Corbett|first=Patrick|title=Verdura: the life and work of a master jeweler|page=120|year=2002|publisher=Harry N.

They are now often not from silk and consist of fabric over an elasticated core. Owing to the popularity of this fashion, metal cufflinks shaped to look like a silk knot are also worn.
