Think of it as the part that goes through the buttonhole and acts as a connecting bridge between the face (the front) and the backing that locks the cufflink securely in place.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Posts can be made of a variety of materials to match what your cufflink is made of. They are often made from steel, aluminium, silver and gold. The post is most commonly made from one solid piece of metal. However, there are certain types that are dual posted, allowing for a toggle attachment. There are also silk and chain types of posts. <\/span>Below are examples of each post type.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1.
