bbj-040 Familiarity Breeds Popularity with these Chesire Cufflink Conversation PiecesAlice in Wonderland, a book by Lewis Caroll, is probably one of the most well known and best loved fairy tales. 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.

 

The Chesire cufflinks are popular among the generation X and Y, who probably grew up during the height of the fairytale’s circulation. It is also fast becoming popular among the much younger generation. Both kids and kids at heart would be happy to have a pair in their personal collection. Its attractiveness stems from its versatility – adults can wear it to work while kids can wear it during formal occasions. 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!

bbj-040 Cheshire Cat on Your Sleeves!You’ve seen it in Lewis Caroll’s “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland”—that sneaky Cheshire cat whose grin turns out to be the epitome of deep dark hidden motives. Nonetheless, people find the animal cute and cuddly that way. One proof is the popularity of Cheshire cufflinks.

 

But more than the looks, the Cheshire cat is also Alice’s guide in the realm of Wonderland. He answers to Alice’s queries even if they are not directed to him. He comes whenever Alice is about to make a major decision. But he would never tell Alice what to do. In fact, he would often speak in riddles and would end up making Alice more confused.

 

It is nice to know that there are animal cufflinks that has the original book illustration of the Cheshire cat. These cufflinks are perfect for those who are fans of the book and even if they aren’t the design itself is lovable and cute, even your kids would love wearing them during a formal occasion.

 

Sometimes, you’ll find it difficult for the kids to wear gold cufflinks especially if they seem too formal and dull for their taste. This grinning Cheshire cat would make them feel different about wearing one.

 

The Cheshire cufflinks, however, are not just for kids. Kids-at-heart will also find it an interesting addition to their cufflinks collection. Once worn, people would find you a bit eccentric and peculiar but in a positive way. That’s better than having no personality at all especially in a world where everyone is trying to create his or her identity out of scratch; fitting in means not trying to fit in.

 

In a room filled with corporate people wearing black tuxedos and a pair of pearl or gold cufflinks, it is a refreshing sight to find someone like you who would dare wear a novelty cufflink such as the Cheshire cufflinks.

RR-238 Alligator Cufflinks To Remind Me of The Land Down Under

Australia, often referred to as the land down under, is also well known for its beautiful beaches and abundant, interesting and unique wildlife. Sydney and the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge are its cultural icons so, of course, I made it a point to visit the city during one of my vacations. Believe me, it was all it’s touted to be and more! The many beaches that studded this coastal city each had its own character and attraction. The Opera House was indeed an architectural feat and the Harbour Bridge was an engineering wonder. The best attraction in the area, however, was the Sydney Aquarium. So far, it has been the largest aquarium I have ever seen. The area it had allotted for its display of fresh and saltwater crocs and alligators was both scary and fascinating. I remember my husband and I avidly witnessing the alligator feeding frenzy during one of the scheduled shows. If they were humans, it would have been a bloodbath! Those few enthralling moments are among the memories I probably would never forget. I thought, how weak men were compared to these alligators; yet, how powerful were we still to be able to keep such magnificent creatures in captivity. I have since bought these alligator cufflinks I once chanced upon to always remind me of those realizations. It was a great Aussie experience for me, made even more poignant by these cufflinks I now own. My husband said they were funny cufflinks – words he uses to refer to all things non-traditional – but all rebuttals are quashed when I remind him of why I bought them in the first place. I think he, too, really enjoyed our trip to Sydney and, admit it or not, is similarly reminded of happy times.

RC-103-SG Elephants Remind Me of ThailandOur wedding anniversary is coming up in just a few days. Last week, I was hard-pressed to find a unique gift for my husband. I wanted something that represented something special in both our lives, an iconic reminder of happy moments or even challenging ones as long as it could become a symbol of our love. My girl friend who has kindly agreed to help me shop — yeah, right, I had to twist her arm – told me that it was a tall order for a single gift on a budget. She was quite a lot of help shooting down my earlier choices. From furniture to scrapbooks, my friend vetoed each suggestion. I often reluctantly acceded to her decision, that is, until we came upon the cufflinks. These gold elephant cufflinks were just the cutest pair I have ever seen. My friend was skeptical about the animal cufflinks, noting that it really looked more like jewelry than a functional piece. I thought about it but just didn’t have the heart not to buy it. My husband I got married secretly in Thailand, you see. He first proposed on the back of an elephant while we were on a safari, our last real date before the wedding. I knew this was it. Even if my friend didn’t get it, I knew my husband would. So, despite my best friend’s protests, I bought the cufflinks and had them wrapped really prettily inside a Thai silk box. This was the something special only I and my husband could understand. Now, I just can’t wait to take that trip down our romantic Chiang Mai memory lane.
