As Alice literally falls into an exciting adventure among strange creatures and magical plants, one grinning face remains conspicuously present. The Chesire cat is a constant reminder of the darkness in the tale. The reader is reminded by the Chesire cat that the amusing and adorable creatures that Alice encounters are not necessarily harmless; further, that following them will not necessarily lead her through a safe path.

 

Despite the somewhat creepy and foreboding symbolism that the Chesire cat represents, however, the cat has surprisingly kept an incredibly popular status. Ironically, kids and adults alike remember the cat as a friendly face rather than the dark one it was intended to be. In fact, the familiar face, enshrined in sterling silver cufflinks remains one of the more saleable items among animal cufflinks available online.

In either case, the wearer is sure to attract some attention with the novelty of the design. Among peers, it will surely become a conversation piece!
