Without question, there are only two countries that reign supreme over the continent of North America; and that’s the US and Canada. For over so many years, a kind of rivalry exists between these two nations, which stemmed mainly on the huge disparity between them. For instance, the US is constantly viewed as an eminent country in the world and among the recognized major international power of the period, while Canada on the other hand is habitually viewed as laid off, and takes on a pacifistic and detached attitude in global issues.

And this rivalry between them has seeped into the American way of living. Some jester may make fun of it, satirical editorials might be reproduced, and TV shows employ it as a way of personality improvement. A one good case in point is the successful television episodes of “How I Met Your Mother (HIMYM). If you happen to watch this TV series, then it’s very plain to see the sort of Canadian-American rivalry we’re talking about.

The concept behind the HIMYM show comprises a gang of five close friends with age ranging from late-twenties to early-thirties. The character Ted, Barney, and Lily and Marshall are all Americans whereas Robin is a Canadian emigrants searching for a job. Most of the show’s comic scripts are aimed at the Canadian man and the place where she came from, drawing attention to their peculiarities that mostly go against the traditional way of the Americans. Robin, who loves her Motherland fully, stand up for her country. At times, she even shows off her pride for her country by taking along with her mementos of Canada such as flags, at any occasion.

This only tells us that Americans are not alone in being prideful. Canadian Flag Cufflinks are perfect presents for your Canadian buddies or people who merely like the place. This pair of red cufflinks is formed similar to the Canadian flag, as pretty as the beautiful maple leaf that it bears.

A lot of experts in history regard Mongolians as historical outlaws. What they don’t get is that the lush Asian culture and tradition including its greatest innovation that we inherited today is partly due to Genghis Khan’s persistent quest for spoils throughout continental Asia and Eastern Europe.

During the wanderings of Mongolian buccaneers throughout the continent, they unintentionally carried along with them ethnic relics from the last civilization they have encountered and since they extend over just about all of Asia and Europe,  these two region were able to impart their riches and knowledge with each other.

Just take for example the invention of the gunpowder and paper. Several historians claim that paper was originally invented in Pompeii while some also claims that the Chinese were already making use of paper scrolls from wood. And that goes with gunpowder. A lot of individuals believed that this technology stemmed from Europe when, as a matter of fact, mainland China were already making use of it in their fireworks display years before the first gun was created.

So if you belong to those kinds of persons who think that the Mongolians have given something good to the world by constantly pillaging and plundering, then this Asian-styled skull pendant would pretty much speak for your digression from common knowledge. Stainless steel pendants and silver cufflinks would never go dull insofar as Genghis Khan’s greatness did since the olden days.

However that will never take place as long as someone possess a different history to share and would venture to go on discovering the truth about the Asian heritage. Now is the time that we take apart the common conception that Europe is the center of civilization. All they did was a simple undertaking to conquer the world but this in itself doesn’t spell greatness.

The moment ones sees the pair of Ares crystal cufflinks in color black, you are immediately transported to a day in Ancient Greece, in the course of the Feast of Dionysia, the time when the people commemorated the gods in the most humanistic ways possible.

During that time, the gods are more similar to humans in that they feel jealous, love, joy and fear. The only disparity is the fact that gods are immortal beings while humans on the other hand are mortals. However, these gods are afraid of the Fates as they don’t hold the reign on how life is being spun.

Plus, the Greek gods makes mistakes as humans do. And in a way, being emotional has some advantages as well. When you’re overtaken by emotions this blurs your thinking. Like when you’re jealous, you will do some actions to some persons that are quite in opposition to your principles. And these gods do that. Hera, for instance, have murdered and endangered a lot of young women because of her jealousy. While Zeus, the mightiest of all God, is so quick to give in to temptation and couldn’t help disguising his God form to that of a human in order to make love with someone – while Hera seethes with wrath. When you cross you cross path with Ares, be ready for an unexpected vendetta.

It appears the Shefaly too has been fascinated by these Greek gods and goddesses, it’s the reason he was able to give such insight to a modern humanistic effort bring into reality by the making of jewels. Among his works, the Shefaly Cufflinks are the most famous of all and that’s understandable enough by seeing these designer cufflinks.

It’s really very interesting how a person can effortlessly ascribe a specific style or trend in arts, fashions or design to a certain group or class of people. All of us are perhaps cheering for the purple and blue enamel cufflinks since its style looks Italian enough. Still, the issue remains: How is it that the blue and purple shade sectioned into quadrilaterals of various sizes and angle is considered Italian?

And one other thing that would pop out to ones thinking would be concerning this small detail: Who’s Italian particularly? As we know, the Italian experience has been the melting point of social and cultural state of the times. It’s even quite hard to identify which era was it that was the turning point of fashion in Italy.

It’s a known fact that the Humanism Renaissance cultural movement in Italy was the starting point for the appreciation, custom and criticism of arts. So, fashion should never be set apart from art as a method of self-expression and in a way, a forecaster of the times.

In our current world of today, whenever a person sees a pair of purple cufflinks that appears like the quadrilateral just noted above, those who have been a watcher of the Italian experience would effortlessly notice that the designer cufflinks he had just seen is Italian.

And this proves something on the idea that art itself can forecast what it is to come. The artist becomes aware of the future and the future of that future and the space beyond that space that whenever he so much as glimpse that set of cufflinks, he could without effort ascertain the condition of the material of what is being regarded as a determiner of what should be regarded next, most likely not on the same level.

Perhaps you’ll find it very shocking indeed to see cosmopolitan and Wallstreet people spending money just so they could get an opportunity to be without their formal attires and be mud-spattered and sweaty by attending such a great assemblage of hostile adolescent and post-adolescence overcome by school spirit.

Just the mere thought of competition among campus universities and colleges may seem at first seem trivial. You might ask how is it that four years of being in a dormitory and consuming stuff in the closest fast food chain be adequate to work out in a person a sense of pride for an establishment that intends to place him in a similar cage he has been place into ever since he starts calling himself educated. How is it possible for someone to think in that manner for his alma mater to the point that he would fight tooth and hair to get the last set of college cufflinks there is?

Think of it, the pride we have of our schools did not really start on our first day of campus life. Back in high school, a person at times meet people whose aim it is in life is to spend his school year in an Ivy League university, or else, in a university where many of his successful family members or relatives have been.

In view of this, the Michigan State University offers college cufflinks to nurture this school pride. It’s a two-edge sword though, for the university’s research and extension. An individual who wants to take up his studies under MSU would get the set of Michigan State Spartans cufflinks to commemorate all the university’s pride and success. But at the same time, putting on this silver cufflinks wherever he goes is also an advertisement of him and for the university.
