Buttons Are Overrated

Posted by admin | Uncategorized | Saturday 25 August 2007 9:26 am

Who wears buttons on their shirt cuffs? I’ll tell you who – Amish people, toddlers, and flannel-shirted lumberjacks. Guys with their company logos – coco chanel quotes even worse, their own names – embroidered over their bosoms. These people wear buttons on their wrists.

It seems to me that it’s time for the American love affair with the humble button to be over. What are a button’s merits? They hold two pieces of cloth fastened over some body part.

Big deal.

As Harrison Ford said in Witness, “Got anything against zippers?”

Buttons used to be ornate and elaborate, if all these period dramas about medieval and Victorian times are to be believed. However, the buttons of Louis the n-teeth quickly gave way to simpler, more masculine fasteners for menswear, while women’s clothes relied on myriad number of fancy buttons to do up the back, button the cuff, and probably even hitch up the under drawers.

Buttons were once miniature works of art, hand-crafted for the aristocracy and landed gentry with the precise and tender care used in creating fine jewelry. Because – imagine this – buttons were once actual jewelry. Think about the costumes of the French and Spanish courts – those things up the front of that guy’s waistcoat were jewels. The fact that they were doing up his jacket don’t lessen their brilliance, their shine, their amazing complement to the diamond buckle on our swain’s high-heeled shoes.

However, once the Industrial Revolution had us finished with figuring out the big necessities – long lengths of cotton in patterns derived from the good taste of the far-flung East, calibrated tools, and lots of adorable and undistinguished knick-knacks for the over mantels and mantels of the rising middle classes – the robber barons turned their attention to stamping out gazillions of buttons that from a very far distance, in a very poor light, looked amazingly somewhat like the expensive handmade buttons of the Upper Classes.

Since that time, buttons have done up the shirts and cuffs of the business class, two or three have been added to business suits with a corresponding number of slightly smaller buttons pretending to do up the cuff, and – off and on – buttons have done up the fly of jeans and the vests of Mr. Jefferson-esque three-piecers.

Buttons were easier to use than cuff links, and faster. They were the sporks of the nineteenth century.

Have you noticed, though, that most of these buttons have degenerated from tiny masterworks to little plastic fake mother-of-pearl or fake other materials? Oh, if you feel like channeling Ted Knight in Caddyshack you can go buy a navy blue blazer with big brass buttons with anchors embossed on them. But really, only the Captain – of Captain and Tennille fame – can get away with that look (and he didn’t, not really).

And really, while we’re talking about the merits of buttons – and have we hit upon any yet? – let’s talk about some of the trials of buttons. First of all, how many times have you been on your way to a very important meeting/date/wedding/funeral and pulled your shirt from its crispy place on the dry cleaner’s hanger or box and realized that many, if not all, or at least one, of those fake mothers – I mean mother-of-pearl buttons – is cracked in half, pulverized beyond fastening power, or all gone altogether.

So what do you do? You grab a paper clip/safety pin/wad of chewed Wrigley’s and you jam that cuff together.

Sloppy. Ridiculous. More noticeable than a parrot on your shoulders and an eye patch. Truly.

The interesting thing about buttons is that most men of power did not wear buttons on their cuffs. Ever. Well, maybe during their mandatory tour of military duty, if they weren’t rich enough to get someone else to do it for them. In combat situations, buttons make sense, because they go really well with camouflage.

No, men of power wore cufflinks Still do. It’s the finishing touch that indicates to the world that you are in control. You are not buttoned up. You are not as cute as a button. You don’t have to button your lip. You are not wearing a cuff fastener with the word “butt” in it.

Buttons today were meant for the masses. Stand out. Buy yourself a pair of cufflinks – the more bling, the better. Pick a pair of cufflinks that show a bit of sparkle – a little gold or enamel for day, and maybe even a little jewelry for evening.

You are no snooze button.

Whether your interests are in silver, gold, artistic, sports, or other theme-related cufflinks we’ve got you covered. Cufflink Aficionado carries a lingerie range of men’s cufflinks designed to meet each connoisseur’s individual style and interest. Our selection of cuff links are sure to top off that perfect look.

The Benefits of Swiss Rolex Replicas

Posted by admin | Uncategorized | Monday 20 August 2007 8:20 am

Of marriage 5 grades of Rolex replicas, the Swiss are considered to be the best. The five grades of Rolex Replicas are Swiss famous best, Grade 1), Japanese (very good, Grades 2-4) and Chinese (the cheapest and worst, Grade 5).

The weight of the Swiss Rolex Replica is almost exactly the same as a genuine Rolex. They are noticeably heavy because of the quality of the materials. If the watch is too light for its size, it’s not a Swiss Rolex replica.

The crystal of Swiss replicas is genuine sapphire crystal. Sapphire crystal is a type of glass that is many times better at resisting scratches than regular glass.

Swiss replicas are usually water-resistant for 100 feet (30 meters) diving, and the jewel movement is among the best.

Given all of these superior traits, it makes sense that the Swiss Rolex Replica should be the most expensive of all replicas. Indeed, the wholesale price is between $500 and $700, and the retail ranges from $675 to $1800. Consumers should expect a one-year warranty, just like the genuine Rolex.

It is perfectly legal to posses Rolex replicas. However, some manufacturers that produce imitations may be in violation of copyright and trademark laws.

Jewelry Tops Wish Lists For Mother’s Day

Posted by admin | Uncategorized | Tuesday 14 August 2007 8:20 am

Mother’s Day sunblock just around the corner, so it’s time to start thinking about what you will give that special woman in your life. Mother’s Day gifts can run the gamut, from handmade treasures to kitchen knives, from electronics to leather goods. You can be sure that she’ll cherish whatever you choose, but the chances are good that jewelry tops her wish list.

Obviously, each woman’s taste in jewelry is different. Some women never leave the house dating a full complement of accessories, while others stick to the basics, like a watch and earrings. Here are some ideas for great Mother’s Day jewelry gifts:

Earrings

You can’t go wrong if you select diamond earrings. Today, the trend is small diamonds set in white gold hoops, although solitaire button earrings are also popular. For a sentimental twist, you can select diamonds that radiate out from gold hearts.

Pearl earrings are almost always a hit, whether they’re set as a single pearl in a drop earring or several pearls in a vertical band. You can even go the exotic route and buy your mother a pair of earrings featuring rare and coveted black pearls (also known as Tahitian pearls). Better yet, buy earrings that incorporate both diamonds and pearls!

Pendants

Pendants make wonderful Mother’s Day gifts. Set in white or yellow gold, the stone in a pendant can represent your mother’s birth month or the birthday months of her children. As a reminder, the birthstones are: January – garnet; February – amethyst; March – aquamarine; April – diamond; May – emerald; June – moonstone; July – ruby; August – peridot; September – sapphire; October – opal; November – topaz; and December – turquoise.

Watches

Fine watches are beautiful gifts, but if your mother is active and enjoys the outdoors, you may want to consider different type of watch. For example, she may enjoy a clip on watch that she can attach to a backpack, gym bag, or runner’s pack. She could even hook it to a belt loop when she takes her pets out for a walk.

Jewelry Sets

There are many different kinds of jewelry sets, each of which would make a treasured gift. For example, you can purchase an earring and necklace set, or select a baby pearl necklace and matching bracelet. Another possibility is a pin or pendant with matching earrings.

Other Wonderful Gifts

If your mother isn’t the type who wears a lot of jewelry, there is a wealth of other gift possibilities. For example, she may welcome personal electronics, like an MP3 player, an iPod, or a DVD player. If she enjoys clothing, she might love a beautiful lingerie set or a leather garment. Perhaps she’d like housewares, such as kitchen knives or a new set of mixing bowls.

Where to Shop

Your best bet for finding a wide selection of jewelry and other Mother’s Day gifts is an online shopping mall. An online mall has the advantage of having thousands (or tens of thousands) of products, and you can often find bargain prices that are close to wholesale. Best of all, this kind of one-stop shopping site can dropship, meaning that the items you order are shipped directly from the supplier. This dramatically cuts down shipping time, and ensures that your Mother’s Day gifts will be delivered to your door safely and quickly.
