Merely an example. There is, however, a consensus of opinion that cuff links, rings, shirt studs, watch chains, etc. should all be of the same metal. So, if you are wearing a gold ring and gold wristwatch, gold (or gold coloured) cuff links would be the better choice.

What you want to try to avoid are big, clunky, flashy cuff links. But you wouldn't wear those anyway.
