CuffLinks For Him

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.
