Mother of Pearl Cufflinks

Friday, August 14th, 2009

A rare material which is often used in high end jewelry and one of kind decorative artifacts is referred to as mother of pearl. Yet another name mother of pearl is known as is nacre which describes the same strong and resilient material. Nacre is an organic composite material that is produced by some mollusks and is formed of hexagonal platelets of calcium carbonate crystals and bonded by elastic biopolymers which increases the toughness of the material at multiple lengths and sizes enormously.

Nacre has been used in fashion accessories for hundreds of years because of the many properties that make it attractive to the human eye. Quite recently urban and New York fashion have adopted the use of mother of pearl in cuff links in order to give them a glossy and stylishly finish; those who wear accessories made of mother of pearl are considered to be individuals are very in touch with a true sense of fashion and have a strong character.

Interesting facts about the Mother of Pearl stone:

• Because of the amazing brickwork found in mother of pearl, the longer the cuts are the stronger the material becomes. This is a very interesting property found in nacre which can only be reassembled by materials such as silicon.
• Mother of pearl has some of the properties of silver but because of its iridescence it can take and properties from many different colors. The thickness of the platelets of calcium carbonate crystals results in constructive and destructive interference of light rays at different visible angles.
• Some mollusks secrete nacre which is deposited on their inner shell in order to defend against parasites and other damaging agents by covering them in layers of nacre, this slow process which takes place over mother of pearl ends up creating a pearl. Objects which are coated or created with nacre loan are in fact made with the material pearls are made of.
• Many people believe that mother of pearl forms when a grain of sand enters the mollusk’s shell but the fact of the matter is that mother of pearl doesn’t form unless a parasite or food particle gets trapped in the shell or if the mollusk is injured in any way.

Career Cufflinks

Friday, August 14th, 2009

Cufflinks are one of those accessories that are often overlooked but that when properly matched to the outfit you are wearing can create a positive image in the eyes of the beholder. Born in the seventeenth century cufflinks remain one of the most important fashion accessories men of power and elegance wear today in order to reinforce their image and establish their status within a group of people.

While it is true that there are as many types of cufflinks as there are types of personalities and occasions we must also note that not every cufflink will match your personality, your outfit and most importantly your career. Hence we must define the always important career related Cufflinks.

Projecting Professionalism through Cufflinks:
Career related cufflinks were designed to do one thing; to project your level of professionalism through an elegant lens. Nothing creates an aura of distinction more than elegant enamel based cufflinks that have been delicately crafted to match your career orientation and professionalism.
By now you may be wondering “Why should I wear a career specific cufflink when I could use a generic cufflink and do just fine?” – Great question. The fact of the matter is that you don’t want to create false illusions about your personality or level of professionalism, for instance, you may like a pair of cufflinks that have playing card designs but if you are an engineer such cufflinks may not speak truthfully about your knowledge and personality, all they say is that you like to gamble, a fact that may not be seeing with kind eyes if you are dealing with investors.
Furthermore, some people may think that giving so much meaning to cufflinks is overstepping on uncharted territory. However, take the following idea in consideration:
When speaking of the law of attraction it is often said that over 70% of the things people perceive of you are picked up not by what you say verbally but by the expression of your body or body language. This means that a nice lady may be attracted to your charms even before you open your mouth to say Hi! And is all thanks to the silent but rich language your body speaks and that accessories such as Cufflinks can enhance.
The same principle is applied to cufflinks. If you care about the social circles you interact with then it is important that you learn how to leverage your image to create successful personal and/or business relationships; hence the added value cufflinks provide.

Professional Cufflink Types:
There are many types of cufflinks and each should be used according to your career and image your are trying to build, this means that if you work in the financial sector there are cufflinks designed specifically for this type of users; the same can be said about engineer cufflinks, law cufflinks for lawyers, Military cufflinks, Photography cufflinks and such.
Besides projecting professionalism, these cufflinks are intimately tied up to New York fashion and even urban styles that are used today by singers, actors and successful people in Cosmopolitan areas so there is a lot to be said about these interesting fashion accessories.

Interesting Facts:

• 7 out of 10 people who match their suits with the right cufflinks are given priority when it comes to business deals. These numbers prove correct the theory that “acting as if” you were a big shot does indeed send the message that you are a big shot or an important person.
• Professional cufflinks sport a good amount of enamel which is a material so compounded as to be opaque or amazingly transparent, colorful and yet colorless. The way this material reflects light is completely unique.
• Enamel was a material highly regarded in Egypt, Rome and Greece by jewel makers as well as those in power; it continues to be seen the same way by important people all over the world.
• Vitreous enamel or porcelain enamel is the colorful yet elegant form of enamel used today to give a sleek and glossy finish to one of a kind cufflinks.
• Enamel has a higher melting point than Aluminum
• There are 12 different techniques used today to apply enamel to different surfaces and materials and the effect created by each enameling technique is truly unique.
