The Eiffel Tower
With history dating back to the French Revolution, the Eiffel Tower is a universally recognized symbol that stands as a symbol of greatness that has stood the test of time. The Eiffel Tower was originally built to mark the French Revolution’s centennial celebration. Located on the Champ de Mars in Paris, the “iron lady,” as it is called, is a beautiful lattice tower and the tallest structure in Paris. It has hit a few bumps along the way, however. Upon its original erection way back in 1889, many a Parisian considered it to be something of an eyesore. Notorious con-man Count Victor Lustig famously duped a group of scrap metal dealers during the 1920s. They foolishly believed he had the authority to sell it, and they “bought” it to the sum of several million francs. Other times, motions have arisen that advocated the tearing down of the monument, but to no avail. The Eifel Towers stands proudly today as a testament of the resiliency of a nation that Hitler himself failed to destroy. He conquered Paris itself for sure during the Send World War, but failed his climb to the top during his second trip to the top. With an exquisite pair of Eiffel Tower Cufflinks, you too can have a touch of the beauty, elegance, and history that is associated with the breathtaking monument. These silver cufflinks are a brilliant compliment to your formal dinner attire, or a charming accessory for the business suit you wear to the office. Landmark cufflinks are a great way to show your appreciation for history, and your sense of style at the same time.
