A number of designers and retailers have adopted this trend, although some, likely due to copyright limitations, do not call them "Lego Cufflinks" you can’t help but recognize them as the popular childhood toy.

For $15.99 a pair, these cufflinks are basic, in the primary colors of Lego that we’re come to recognize, and they come in a classy velvet bag for safekeeping!
