We Build This City Of Words!

Much attention is given to writing as if it’s the noblest of careers or the most imposing of gestures. Writers, one poet said, are the legislators of the world. With such enunciation, almost every youth in school are dreaming to be writers, just like how writers now once dreamt of being one when they were in still in school. Even if that school is the school made of bricks or the school made of words to be read, it didn’t matter as long as learning is the main subject.

And writing isn’t just an act, aside from giving something that can be a source of knowledge for the reader, writing is also an act of learning how to express what to express. Just like wedding cufflinks, writing prepares the spirit. The act of writing itself convinces the writer to believe in what he writes, thereby teaching him confidence and fidelity.

Also, writing is like cracked pepper cufflinks, it is abstract the first time you hear it. You can’t picture it right away. Sure you think you can visualize a person with a pen, writing on paper, or on the walls of a public bathroom, or in a calling card, or in a ruined television set. But of course, you would also agree that the essence of writing isn’t just about stroking one’s pen on paper. Writing would have to make sense, even if it doesn’t at first glance.

This is why writing is also like Red Building Block Cufflinks. For one to get the point, one would have to write. Or if one can’t he would have to build. To come face to face with the act of constructing something, either an idea, or a table or something just to keep someone busy would already instill to someone the necessity of proposing something, confidently and with much conviction, just like putting building blocks upon each other, proposing how high it should stand. Just like wearing cufflinks, proposing how much trust one can give to one’s self.

Stop Wearing Summer Sandals or You’ll Make Global Warming Even Worse!

There are wedding cufflinks that begin to lose its brilliance after continuous exposure to the sun. Some gambling cufflinks were even recalled from the market after revealing cracks from too much exposure from casino lights. These aren’t isolated cases. The earth’s heat is increasing by the year. Not only heat, in fact the weather itself has changed a lot. Farmers and fisher folk now experience difficulty in predicting weather.

Predicting weather is very important for the rural folk in third world countries, and even in highly-industrialized ones. It what makes raw materials to be processed into the stuff we find in the supermarket: shampoo, soap, chips, and other chemicals used to make plastic, rubber, and the necessary formulation in other products.

Yet, because of the manufacture of these products, our environment is ruined. Global warming takes effect and weather adjusts itself randomly, making it hard to predict or its effects heightened.

It would come as a surprise for people to know that the number one pollutant, and therefore the gravest contributor to global warming is the production of summer sandals. But the production itself is only secondary to the real stuff that poses the true danger: wanting summer to come. Yes, apparently, of the four billion people that make up the population of the earth, only 97% loves summer time! The energy of people alone, contributes to the rise of greenhouse gases that worsens global warming and climate change. How much more when every night they would wish for summer to come!

Ancient people believe that when majority of the worlds people wish for the heavenly bodies to appear, nature responds approvingly even if it has devastating effects. Back then, they have Joker cufflinks to counter and reverse the effect of those wishes and restore balance on Earth.

The Context of the Symbol @ In Ancient Civilizations

Let’s admit it; we only got to know the real use of the “at” symbol via the birth of the electronic mail (or e-mail as its hyphenated, shortened and made to sound more high-tech, modern and urban), this even with the fact that the “at” symbol can be found in important archeological finds from both the Ancient Egyptian and Ancient Sumerian civilizations, appearing as hieroglyphs.

Today, the “at” as represented by a symbol appears as the letter “a” with its tail turning a full circle around it. It is so easily dismissed as simply a representation of the conjunction “at”, being much easier to write and much prettier to look at. But, people would surely have a hard time believing that during the days when hieroglyphs were still the primary mode of written communication, the “at” sign is conventionally used to address, within the existing tradition of hieroglyphs as drawn figures suggestive of a word or a concept, one’s feverish desire to have sexual intercourse.

In fact, the “at” sign wasn’t just a figure from the hieroglyphs. Like Egyptian and Sumerian Gods who sits in the hieroglyphic alphabet with their own unique figurative representation, the “at” symbol are also made to become ornaments, the biggest of which stands 17 feet beside the tomb of the pharaoh Khufu, the smallest as sterling silver cufflinks, known to them as ankhs, to be given as gifts to Egyptian women.

But the symbol is more powerful than that. When given as an ankh, the very act of offering it to a woman accompanies the virtue of bestowing to her the title of “whore”, which was back then among the noblest of career. Thus, ankhs as career related cufflinks. Among the thousands of cufflinks, the one most prized is the Sterling Silver @ Cufflinks which was said to have been lost by Cleopatra herself while “doing it” with some Roman guy.

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?

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.
