Cufflinks that Stun

Jewelry-makers have tried mixing and matching different color combinations to add flexibility to a once was dull pair of silver cufflinks. But now that crystal cufflinks are taking over the market by storm, it is also time for these experience craftsmen to offer something even better.

This particular pair of SOHO Crystal Cufflinks in Pink, illustrates how much our artisans try to modify their aesthetic sensibilities to accommodate more niches. Instead of making use of two different tones, the jewelry-makers tried to form a lustrous crystal ensemble with two different shades of pink: light rose and fuchsia. Although this is not an entirely original concept, applying it on crystals work pretty well.

SOHO Crystal Cufflinks in Pink is worthy of a spot in every cufflinks collector’s case not just because it is made of precious stones but because it is really like no other. Other crystal cufflinks seem to be too contrived when it comes to color combination. The idea in this one is quite simple. Juxtapose one shade of pink to another and it develops an optical illusion that is really an eye-catcher.

This beautiful ensemble never fails to amaze even the most traditional of cufflinks collectors. It may actually cater to men and women, modern and conservative. It is simply stunning, nothing more, and nothing less— just the perfect pair of cufflinks that does not try too hard.

SOHO Crystal Cufflinks in Pink contains three individually cut square crystals that are placed side by side to achieve such a mesmerizing effect.

A World Filled with Unique People

You won’t find this pair of crystal cufflinks anywhere else. It wonderfully blends crystal and silver into a dazzling jewelry that has everything that amuses you about cufflinks. SOHO Purple Glass Vault Cufflinks marks the future of silver cufflinks—that being, a background to enhance the beauty of all other precious materials, one of which being crystal.

True enough, today’s market is veering towards crystal cufflinks that are mounted in silver in a different way. Everyone wants something different despite the fact that everyone wanting something different is not something different after all. But hey, we can take that anytime because it is the easier thing to feel. What makes it easier for us is the fact that trinkets of shiny, shimmering, splendid such as SOHO Purple Glass Vault Cufflinks can make us forget to be rational.

Who needs to be rational anyway? Everyone’s irrational after all. And they’re happy just the same. Akira Kurosawa said: “in a mad world, only the mad are sane.” So you see, if everyone thinks the same as Kurosawa, would the world be a saner place? Truth is that everyone actually thinks that way. And what do we have now?

Crystals with two shades of purple framed by lustrous silver—even the sound of the words is good. We are actually living in a world where the eccentric is widely accepted. But still, the question is, who decides what is eccentric and what is normal? It makes you wonder, maybe Kurosawa isn’t entirely right after all.

Celtic Cross: Religious or Pagan?

The Irish people are known for their highly superstitious culture that has influenced many of the world’s modern-day traditions we now enjoy. The great Irish exodus to the United States during the famine has can be the reason behind their cultural influences all across the globe.

When the Irish came to America to escape the famine, they inevitably brought along with them their cultural practices. In the long run, Americans, who were already Christianized back then easily assimilated the Irish culture due to its somewhat similarities with the Christian way of life.

Truth of the matter is that roots of the Irish religiosity can be traced back to Celtic paganism. But it has to be considered to that Ireland also suffered from the rule of the Roman Empire, and during that time, the Celtic religion and practices were banned except from some other symbolisms and practices that the Romans adopted.

Now we know why we get to find Celtic Cross Cufflinks that are somewhat more nature-inspired and mysterious compared to the usual crucifix that the Roman Catholic Church has introduced to us. Many religion and zen cufflinks do have that certain quality of sameness. It is evident especially amongst gold cufflinks of which designs are also religion-inspired.

The mystery behind such is the debate as far as the question of “who influences who” goes. Some experts would say that monotheistic religions are all inspired by pagan religions while devout Catholics believe that traditions, practices and symbolisms used by the church is mandated by god and that pagan religions are still the handiwork of the devil.

The Inherent Elegance of Fleur De Lys

Inspired by the legacy of Paris, France as the fashion capital of the world, the Fleur De Lys Cufflinks, has made its mark in the world of jewelry making, more specifically, in the religion and zen cufflinks department. Now that cufflinks of these kinds are being introduced to us, lovers of good stuff, we have the option to finally free ourselves from our good old gold cufflinks collection and replace it with modern and artistic ones.

These particularly handsome Fleur De Lys Cufflinks is made of high quality sterling silver and was sculpted to replicate the symbol of France. The Fleur De Lys is interesting especially when you begin contextualizing its very nature. The usual contradiction lies in its relationship with the country it is supposed to symbolize. Does it represent France or does France represent it? In other words, what gives meaning to the symbol? Was it France or did France acquire the inherent meaning of the Fleur De Lys to symbolize its people.

Nevertheless, what remains is our general notion of the symbol as something related to France and our notion of France as a nation represented by the Fleur De Lys. In the long run, it has become a universal emblem. Fashion enthusiasts and lovers of arts and humanities love to be associated with it in some way, which is why it has become one of the bestselling designs not just in the cufflinks market but in other accessories as well.

What else could be the reason but the inherent elegance that reverberates from the symbols royal and exuberant history?

City Life Underground

Hurray for public mass transits! Or so most of us who have been living amid the busy trails of the urban jungle like to exclaim. Traveling in the comforts of your own car is only advisable if you live a few miles away from work, which entirely means from the outskirts of the city or in a meek and quiet suburban area. Otherwise, the bustling sound of city life would tell you to rather walk or head on to the subway. Sounds familiar? You are probably reading this somewhere in London, where the way of life involves spending your breakfast with people from different walks of life. There is always that young lawyer who often wears gold cufflinks, or that Asian lady who rushes to work faster than a bullet train. There is the teenaged hipster guy who lives in his own iPod world and that old drag queen who feels seventeen everyday.

These are people who annoy you while you’re still at it but when you are about to end yet another day at work, it is them that you think about. All those interesting characters can really make your work as a writer a breather. Everyday is like watching a book coming to life, each person has a story to tell, each trying to escape the pages that imprisoned them in a single chapter.

And you wake up one day wondering what else is in store for you. Looking at the mirror, trying to put on that sign cufflinks you received as a birthday present back in college, always wondering how come the London Underground Cufflinks you are wearing never ever fades.

Symbol of American Democracy

The United States Capitol Building is a bastion of democracy—literally and figuratively speaking. It is where the US Congress conduct their debates in matters that may or may not be crucial to the majority of American citizens.

The strength of the United States as a democratic nation lies in the Congress—the legislative body that is supposed to represent the different sectors of American society, in geographic and partisan terms. If there is anything about the United States that is worthy of protecting and being proud of, that would be the US Congress.

One way of honoring the democracy that we have been prided our nation for is by wearing the United States Capitol Cufflinks during formal events, politically related or not. It is like making a statement that we still support our Congress amidst the difficulties that they currently have especially now that the issue of US healthcare spires a long time debate between Democrats and Republicans.

Landmark cufflinks such as the United States Capitol Cufflinks can remind these people that they are not deciding only for their partisan leanings and that the future of the American citizens are in their hands. It is high time for ordinary people like us to reclaim our voices in the US Congress and begin deciding for our representatives.

We could all begin by skipping our designer cufflinks and start wearing a statement. Remind our representatives in the Congress that they are debating for American democracy and not just for their personal and partisan gains.
