Neiman Marcus is selling a pair of luxurious golden cufflinks that feature the face of iconic Star Wars villain Darth Vader. With the holiday season fast approaching, these delicate gold cufflinks could be the perfect accessory for any well-dressed [Star Wars fan](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ray-ban-star-wars).

The golden cufflinks display the menacing visage of Darth Vader in impressive detail. The front of the cufflinks features Darth Vader's head, while the back is adorned with the Galactic Empire symbol. The cufflinks are made from 14-karat yellow gold, which makes them more luxurious than other types of [movie memorabilia](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-wars-tamagotchi). Of course, such an exquisite accessory comes at a cost. Those who are interested in purchasing the Vader-adorned cufflinks should be prepared to pay $4,200 for the stylish accessory.
