CuffLinks For Him

A Double Functional Cufflinks Delight

Another double function cufflinks is the green level cufflinks. Aside from buttoning up your French cuffs, they are also used to determine if the place you are standing on is on a level.

You might still be confused how that works but for sure you have seen one of those. These functional cufflinks have green liquid with a bubble inside. If the bubble is at the middle of the cylindrical cufflinks, it would mean that you are on a level ground. Otherwise, you might be standing on a slightly slanted ground.

These silver cufflinks are also useful if you are in a ship or a yacth for whatever purpose it is. Easily, you’ll know if the waters are going your way even if you are in the cabin.

The Feminine Authority

Vermeil fleur de lys cufflinks are the symbol of elegance and sophistication. The material itself will tell you to take these cufflinks seriously. Vermeil is made of 14 karat gold and is one of the most sought-after shades of gold nowadays. Many jewelries and accessories are made of vermeil and the reason is too obvious to be mentioned.

Just look at how these religion and zen cufflinks complement a good auf white blouse for that office attire that commands authority and class both at the same time. Yet, the whole ensemble won’t even take that grace and femininity all of us try to maintain amidst pressure.

The corporate world is meant for both men and women out there. In fact, we are seeing the trend switch from more women than men in the higher positions. The flexibility, versatility and adaptability of women are the major reasons why it is happening in such a competitive world ruled by mostly men.

These gold cufflinks mark that on our sleeves. In the end, we excel in everything that we do and we should revel in that but that shouldn’t take away our womanhood from us! That’s what will change this forlorn world—the fact that women can lead and that we are revolutionizing leadership.

The world has seen men of all shapes and sizes and nothing has changed. War rules over. Competition becomes tougher due to pride. Patience seems to be non-existence. With the essentialist role of women in the society deems us as the nurturer and the bearer of new hope. Let us be that and shed some light in this world of chaos.

Rule the Corporate Jungle with These Gorilla Cufflinks

Who says that the lion is the king of the jungle? That’s a real misconception because on the contrary, lions live in savannahs and not in the jungle. The real king of the jungle then is, who else, but the gorillas!

That’s right! These omnivorous primates are the true rulers of the wild. If you are looking for a fierce animal cufflinks, then these stainless steel gorilla cufflinks should be your best bet.

At first, you would think that it is a Kingkong-inspired cufflinks. That might be the inspiration for its craftsmanship but in actuality, it is trying to mimic real life gorillas that are menacing the wild. That’s its right anyway.

Animals own the jungle more than we do. We have already built our own civilizations and that should be enough for our species. It is high time that we left some of the world for these creatures. Without them, the world would not become a place conducive for human beings to live in. They are a part of what maintains the planet. If we let them out of our sight, our resources would be lost as well.

Everything is interconnected, after all. Even the fact that you need to wear designer cufflinks during a formal event is connected to climate change and to what harm it may cause the jungle that may soon enough, wipe out the gorilla species. At the same time, in the event that the habitats of these primates are gone, wearing the perfect cufflinks would not matter a bit.

What’s Underneath Those Manholes?

You almost always ignore them when you walk passed the streets of New York. But who would in a busy cosmopolitan area like that? When you live in the city, all you could ever think about is how you would cope in a fast-paced world. In fact, you won’t even notice that somewhere out there, life can be simple and less demanding.

Yes, somewhere down below New York’s busy streets are manholes where things are a little bit dark and wicked and a little less fancy. And yet we find them as accurate symbols of city life. There are no questions why. The fact that they are there in every corner of New York is reason enough—whether you notice them or not.

And to prove that you still have the propensity to see things that are not related to what you have on your to-do list, you ought to wear New York City manhole cufflinks in the office.

You’ll find some of your colleagues wondering what it is on your sleeves. Be glad that you are not as indifferent as them. At least not yet. Remember how you got to choose those manhole cufflinks for a reason? That’s proof enough that you still care about the world even if all you can do about it is wear a pair of silver cufflinks on your sleeves.

They always say that it begins with awareness. Who knows? One of these days, you might really want to find out what’s underneath those manholes.

Cufflinks for the Winter!

Summer is almost coming to an end. Although wintertime is still a few months away, preparing for the holiday season should be done the earlier the better.

What else should you prepare for aside from winter apparel but the gears! Yes, the skiing gears. It is time to book for that winter resort reservation or else you won’t find anything affordable during the peak season. As soon as you get ready for the skiing trip, all that is left for you to do is to enjoy nightly Christmas parties starting from your office party to your girlfriend’s office’s yearender.

It is but important that you are prepared for all these cocktails, too. They are the best times of the year for socialization. If you are still on the lookout for a partner, the best way to do it is to give out the right impression by dressing good and dressing timely. Wearing sports cufflinks that are somewhat related to the seasons and to your passions is your best bet.

How about a pair of sterling skier cufflinks? That should be the best conversation starter of all! Imagine someone from across the bar who gets to see the sterling silver cufflinks and ask about how you like skiing. If that works well, you might even invite the same person on a holiday trip with you!

But it’s not just the girls you need to impress. How about your boss and a pair of sterling skier cufflinks for him, too? That would much be appreciated given the fact that it is, again, timely and quite thoughtful. What else could be better than a promotion and a new mate? Certainly, none!

Masculine Fashion is not Just About the Function!

Admit it or not, some men still don’t care about fashion even if women are now becoming more demanding when it comes to men’s appearance. Being presentable is no longer enough for us. Somehow, men need to make efforts to look good, too.

However, it is still apparent how men refuse to abide by women’s call for equality when it comes to dating and that is why, sterling silver cufflinks that are worn for its sole function are still widely used.

One example is the fact that engravable flip bar cufflinks made of plain old stainless steel are still a bestseller nowadays—despite of its, well, plainness. It is now difficult to find men who can look charming without exerting enough effort. In fact, even simplicity requires a little effort. Which is why these engravable cufflinks do not really live up to its function.

The fact that you are still given the option to choose the font style of the engraved letters, or the fact that you can even choose a statement or a name to write means that men are not really strong enough to let the creative side of dressing up be left in the hands of the female and/or the not-male. The very act of choosing which suit is better or which cufflinks make them more manly is fashion.

It is hypocrisy to consider yourself someone who does not care about trends because really, whether you are unconscious or not, you are following the bandwagon. All you ever did is to choose which of these bandwagons to follow.

The Perfect Smile as a Perfect Gift

It’s just like walking in the Louvre only that you get to look at the Mona Lisa whenever you feel like looking at it. And you sure know how other museum visitors envy you.

Have you heard the story about it’s theft in the early 1900s? A Louvre employee named Vincenzo Peruggia had the guts to steal the painting for the most stupid of all reasons: nationalism. And please don’t tell me that you traveled all the way here to Paris to be proud of your country. Well, the hard fact is that majority of your people don’t even have an idea what Mona Lisa is. How much more about who she is and what she’s smiling at?

But to continue the story, Vincenzo took the opportunity of having access in the Louvre. Since this was when bulletproof glass has yet to be invented, it was easy for the guy to just carry and hide it in a broom closet.

Of course, in almost 400 years of its existence, who would have thought someone would steal the Mona Lisa? And who would have thought that it would be done in the most unscheming of ways? Vincenzo, immediately that night, took out the painting by hiding it under his coat. Now who would’ve suspected a criminal would do that?

Maybe that’s why in Italy, they still consider him a patriot. All he wanted was for the Mona Lisa be displayed in its home country. But how about you, foreign traveler who would have to negotiate exchange rates in order to see the Mona Lisa? You even bought designer cufflinks, art cufflinks bearing the Mona Lisa painting showing your ignorant reverence to it. Well, what would you feel if that would be stolen from you by an Italian who would reason that it belongs to Italy? What if I shove my gun in your side and ask you to give me the Mona Lisa cufflinks? What if I love Italy so much I’d kill for her?

Philosophizing the Mundane, Balancing the Illogical

Although it’s quite odd that the Chinese doesn’t only rest almost everything in luck but has even made a way to systematize how people should attract luck, and although the system itself is perceived as pseudo-science, it is nevertheless still amazing how those who believe in Chinese philosophy and follow its tenets coincidentally gets “lucky” almost at the right time and situation.

Of course, this doesn’t mean that Chinese pseudo-science is affirmed here. But polarization, being the result of a coincidence, is not just an assumption that can be found only in Chinese philosophy, nor is it exclusively recognized for attracting luck. Polarity, that is the dialectical relationship of objects which act upon another to bring about change, is a very legitimate philosophical doctrine.

The only difference with Chinese pseudo-science is that it acknowledges coincidence as part of the process of change even if its role is oriented to externalities.

How would this relate to a person’s boring life? It should be noted that in this discourse, luck is not the topic but polarity. Luck was only discussed to prove a certain point: that polarity exists and cannot simply be disregarded in favor of luck, nor luck be brushed aside for polarity. In anyway, polarity necessitates balance. While the disruption of the balance may be the one called coincidence. Both are universals but while coincidences metaphysical, balance should be fostered by man.

To make a parable out of the discourse, imagine buying a pair of designer cufflinks. You may test your luck or disrupt the balance of the occasion by pairing religious and zen cufflinks in a ball with a completely different motif. Try wearing Yin Yang cufflinks and let’s see if you’d get to be lucky enough to look good.

Necessary Transformations from the Cuffs to your Personality

You are left alone for the night, all alone in your room with your dreams as the only one to accompany you. Your dream? To be cosmic. To become the origin of everything, not as God for you do not believe in such, but as the very first explosion.

But then you have to control your mood swings. You are very frustrated for not exerting more effort in studying Math and Science as a young boy. Back then, you were the opposite of the systematic and the objective. Your emotions ruled you. You gave more weight to spontaneity and intuition. You loved the arts more for you consider it free and more liberal compared to a more unsparing and rigid world the sciences offer you. But then you gave equal importance to both of them. You were very volatile.

As you look outside the window, you remembered Van Gogh, whose works you knew very well, when he was still in the sanitarium. There, he first sketched what would then be known as “Starry Night.” You also knew very well that Van Gogh painted “Starry Night” without the sketch, and instead depended from memory. Suddenly, the sky swirled into froth, the stars’ point sparkles became blunt then radiated like bulbs interrogating the town lying in the belly of the hills, helpless to the dark blues and indigos. You saw the moon rotate without leaving its spot in the sky and already knew the physics behind such an occurrence. To describe it in respect to its materiality, you say, it’s pretty redeeming after all those years of rabid interpretation. And yes, you’ve learned from it.

You could be thinking of buying designer cufflinks now. You could be thinking that leaving art behind in favor of science is too much, that’s why you’ll be choosing art cufflinks to remind you of your youth. And you are to choose the Starry Night cufflinks to at least make you want to explode again.

Cufflinks and the Business-Friendly Personal Image

“Am I miserable because I listen to pop music, or did listening to pop music made me miserable?” Asked the main character from the film High Fidelity. But then who wouldn’t be miserable when one has tons of LPs in his collection shelved in the most unorganized way? Well, for some, shelving doesn’t really matter. The only important thing for them is having a collection that isn’t only prized, but at the same time, profitable.

It would be surprising to find out that a lot of people have already stayed long in the music industry even though their not sellers, producers or not even musicians. Instead, they ventured in the record rental business. But such a field is too threatening of businessmen’s interest. During the formative years of record renting, rare LPs for playing, although lent for a high price, were never returned. Record renting proved to be a financial suicide. Indeed, lending your well-loved vinyl collection to strangers is among the stupidest thing you could do.

That’s why the mix tape making industry became such a boom. Aside from being a better alternative from selling and record rental, it has more expansive opportunities in profit-acquisition. Since the whole idea of having a mix tape is having a set of songs mixed in a desired arrangement, a whole lot of possibilities in mixing songs open the market for bigger demands.

Plus it requires minimal effort for the entrepreneur since all that he would need, he already have since the beginning. The only thing missing is a PR machine. But that’s not even a problem. Meeting customers is as easy as putting on sterling silver cufflinks. All you need to do is make your mix tape-making-self already recognizable at first glance, for example by wearing music cufflinks such as mix tape cufflinks that would make you stand out from the crowd.
