  • the configuration of the bead-receiving portion can be varied without affecting its working.
  • the bead-receiving portion can be made from one or more flexible members, such as metal wires, a metal cable, a cord, a chain, etc.
  • the cufflink base and cufflink can be used in other applications, such as to replace shirt buttons along the front of a shirt or to provide a manner to affixing an ornamental bead to an item having a through-hole.
  • the buttonhole-engagement portion has been described and illustrated as a swivel bar, other suitable types of buttonhole-engagement means can be employed, such as, for example, swivelable panels.
  • the buttonhole- engagement portion can be releasably secured to the buttonhole-spanning portion, such as, for example, a panel that screws onto the buttonhole-spanning portion.
  • Persons skilled in the art will appreciate that there are yet more alternative implementations and modifications possible, and that the above examples are only illustrations of one or more implementations. The scope, therefore, is only to be limited by the claims appended hereto.
