A Link to Fine Food

August 31st, 2010 | No Comments | Posted in General Cufflinks

cufflinks career chef hat large A Link to Fine FoodHopefully, it’s accurate to say that everyone likes food.  And everyone likes good food.  Unfortunately, not everyone makes food good.  Sadly, many people can’t make a good bowl of cereal without ruining it.  So when you wear these Chefs Hat Cufflinks, people just may assume you know what you’re doing when it comes to food.  Since eating is something that most of us except supermodels do every day, don’t be surprised to see people approach you for cooking advice, or worse, that you make up something for them in favor of something being served at the party you’re attending.  In that case, if you’re not really much of a cook, it’s best to just come out and say it than to ruin someone else’s evening.  If, on the other hand, you do know what you’re doing, the same advice might apply, because a lot of people just aren’t that good at cooking.  These silver cufflinks look quite handsome on any sleeve, so it’s not surprising why you’d wear them even if all you like is fine food.  However, they’re career related cufflinks, so it’s a bit like advertising what you do or what you like to do.  Rather like wearing doctor cufflinks or lawyer cufflinks, chef cufflinks bring attention you may not want when you’d rather have a good time.  Unless you want that kind of attention, in that case hopefully everyone that meets you expecting good advice on cuisine has a great sense of humor.  In the meantime, you’re going to look great with a set of silver cufflinks like these to make your formal wear shine in a very classy way. 

The Importance of Racing

August 30th, 2010 | No Comments | Posted in General Cufflinks

cufflinks automotive nascar large The Importance of RacingAuto racing is more than just a sport, it’s innovation in action.  Through racing, technology develops to address problems and improve performance that otherwise couldn’t be done as well without a means to test vehicles in this way.  Racing provides an impetus to improve technology through the use of cash prizes given to the winner of the race.  Early auto racing helped to improve overall car designs by making them wider to take turns better, better tires with better traction and durability for all kinds of road conditions and weather, and better power out of those early engines.  While Formula One racing pushes vehicles to their extremes in various ways, NASCAR is different in that it only uses what anyone can get as production stock from the factories that make cars.  NASCAR, in particular, races North American-made cars and establishes certain rules that restrict these cars to certain parameters, hence the term stock-car racing.  It grounds this form of racing to the fans in a way Formula One can never do because the fans can end up buying and driving the cars the pros drive on the racing circuit. So when folks see your NASCAR Cufflinks sparkling off your sleeve, they’ll know you appreciate a form of racing that’s not only modern, but relevant to what most people drive.  Automotive cufflinks and other silver cufflinks are a delightful way to convey your interests in style and class without detracting from your formal expressions.  While you may not necessarily be interested in how integral NASCAR racing is to automotive innovation, preferring instead to follow your favorite drivers, it’s a nice anecdote to share with others to bring them into the sport.

cufflinks ncaa washington large 01 Rise of the Huskies This has been a very rough decade for the University of Washington Huskies.  Following the difficulties and problems of the first half of the decade involving the overlooking of atrocious behavior of several team-members and other people, the Washington Huskies have struggled just to regain the semblance of a football program.  Even with the talent of QB Jake Locker the Huskies had a rough go of it, only now beginning to build a team that looks like a viable contender in the Pac-10.  With Head Coach Steve Sarkisian, and the recent upset they gave to the mighty USC Trojans last year, the Huskies are poised to make a good solid comeback in this very tough collegiate conference.  Whether you’re an alumni or a student you’ll be glad to show your support for the Huskies this year with a set of University of Washington Huskies Cufflinks.  These silver cufflinks feature the standard Washington purple and gold “W” logo that will look prominent and stylish on any shirt cuff.  Perfect not just for football but for all the sports the Huskies play, at home or on the road, they make great keepsakes and gifts for new students, graduates, and long-time alumni, all of whom need to do their part in rebuilding the Huskies glory.  NCAA cufflinks are marvelous to collect, and are a solid part of pride in one’s alma mater.  It may take a few seasons for the Huskies to get into fighting trim on the gridiron, but they’re on the right path with good leadership that will instill a firm foundation of character they need to return to greatness. 

 

The Masons

CD 1133 The MasonsTo be a member of the Masons is to be a part of a great heritage.  George Washington himself was a Mason, as was several other of America’s Founding Fathers, all of whom helped shaped the destiny of a continent when they sought independence from Great Britain.  There have been some wild rumors and accusations about the Masons, from some sort of nefarious involvement with Jack the Ripper to being the holders of sacred relics recovered from long deceased sea-going pirates.   In truth, this esoteric society is a significant protector of the arts and is a major source of charity and good will in the communities where their Lodges are located at, among which are the Shriner’s Hospitals for Children.   Their members are often men in very good standing and adhere to a high degree of morality as espoused by the Supreme Law, which, among Christian Masons is the King James Bible.  Any Freemason would be proud to display his membership to this fine fraternity with a set of Sterling Silver Masonic Cufflinks.  These silver cufflinks feature the symbol of the Masons, the mason’s square and the architect’s compass around the capital letter “G” which stands for God, of no particular faith or denomination, amidst a sea of blue.  These career related cufflinks are great gifts for initiates and Master Masons alike, perfect to wear during lodge meetings and proceedings and are sure to strike up a conversation with non-members about the nature of who the Masons are and what they actually do, and you might end up finding your very next initiate in this manner. 

For the Piano

cufflinks music piano keys large 01 For the Piano The piano is a marvelous instrument to learn and master.  Piano players are beloved throughout the world in part because the music they play is soothing to the ear and delightful all at once.  Some of the greatest pieces of music ever conceived can only be expressed properly with the piano and it takes lots of practice to develop the cadence, the skill and the talent to play as effortlessly as a typist might crack out a memo.  When you hear a pianist play Ballade No. 3 in G minor, Opus 23 by Frederic Chopin live, it’ll take your breath away in a manner no six string guitar strummer can manage to do.  Where the guitar is common, the piano is classy, and can delight and amaze in ways the six string metal rocker wishes he could accomplish with the same amount of effort.  Piano Keys Cufflinks have only the distinctive seven white and five black key pattern, but they’ll be a welcome gift to the pianists in your life, both novice and professional players, and will be a delight to those who see them on their sleeves accompanying a nocturne or the aforementioned Chopin piece.  Music cufflinks are great even for the six-string warriors who would like to wear something a bit more formal than the grunge, gothic, or just blue jeans and t-shirts they’re used to wearing, and silver cufflinks add a bit of polish and sparkle that comes with their exquisite beauty that adorns fine music.  Talent to move the soul with beauty is something that should be treasured. 

Attack Helicopter Cufflinks

cufflinks armed forces apache helicopter large 01 Attack Helicopter CufflinksThe AH-64 Apache is the world’s greatest and deadliest helicopter.  Descended in part from the highly successful AH-1 Cobra, the Apache is a flying arsenal of heavy weapons and missiles designed principally to defeat the predicted advanced wave of Soviet armor pounding through the Fulda Gap from East Germany into West Germany.  With highly sophisticated targeting and acquisition systems, forward looking infrared cameras and a 30mm automatic cannon that can be tracked to the pilot’s or co-pilot’s head so that he may direct the gun precisely to what he’s looking at, and with a Hellfire anti-tank missile system that can punch through even thickest tank armor at ranges in excess of ten miles out, it’s no wonder why the Apache features prominently for major US Army operations wherever they’re needed.  The Iraqis called the aircraft “Silent Death,” because often it would strike so far away they’d never hear the sound of the helicopter until it was too late.  The Apache is also one of the most highly survivable aircraft flying, with the aircraft sustaining damages that would cripple lesser aircraft with nary a scratch on either pilot.  The Apache Helicopter Cufflinks feature this remarkable aircraft’s “Longbow” variant which features the mast-mounted fire control radar against a silver coin relief, armed with full stores of sixteen Hellfire missiles.  It is a great gift to any military enthusiast or Army aviator.  Silver cufflinks such as these would look great on the sleeve of any dress uniform or formal wear and military cufflinks are excellent collector’s items and a tribute to the brave men and women who serve and protect this nation. 

When the Curse was Broken

August 16th, 2010 | No Comments | Posted in General Cufflinks

cufflinks mlb 2005 red sox large 01 When the Curse was BrokenWhen Babe Ruth left the Boston Red Sox to play for the New York Yankees in the off-season of 1918-1919, the Sox was one of the most successful ball teams in the majors, winning five of their first fifteen chances at the World Series, with their last one against the Chicago Cubs in 1918 with the Babe’s help.  Then, after the Babe left, for the next 86 years the Red Sox would never win another World Series until 2004 when they finally reversed the Curse of the Bambino.  It is a story of great close calls and heartbreak only to find deep exuberant joy at the 2004 World Series when the Sox beat the St. Louis Cardinals in a four game sweep with Cardinal Edgar Renteria hit for the final out in one of the most amazing stories in baseball.  The 2004 Champion Red Sox Cufflinks are a great way to remember the day when the curse was finally ended and a new era was born.  These silver cufflinks feature the logo of the Boston Red Sox in a circle announcing them as the 2004 World Series Champions, which make them prized collector’s items among other MLB cufflinks and other baseball memorabilia.  Though the Red Sox may not be doing too hot lately, these cufflinks are a great reminder that nothing lasts forever and there’s always another game, another season, and another team waiting to take the field and reclaim glory once again.  It’s only just a matter of time.  Hopefully not another eighty years.
