Shehecheyanu for Cuff-Links

Shehachayanu on cufflinks?

would the price of the cufflinks matter or how much one really wanted and likes them?

Answer:

If a person is happy with the purchase, then it is appropriate to make Shehecheyahu on cuff-links.

One does not make Shehecheyahu on things that generally don’t generate simcha. However, this is very much the exception to the rule (see for instance the debate concerning a tallis kattan, and Rav Moshe’s ruling whereby one can make Shehecheyahu even on pajamas, here).

Cuff-links are a form of jewelry, and they are suitable for Shehecheyahu under the appropriate circumstances.

Best wishes.
