Animal Cufflinks

There was this eerie story about a girl at the age of eight, who upon her first time of entering the Museum for the Reinstatement of National Identity, experienced first hand the traumatic horror inflicted by paranoia. It was during her third step towards the door, as she was just about to cross inside, one foot alighting towards the thick, dusty red-blue-and-white designed carpet covering the whole lobby, where the stars ordered near the information desk, and the stripes lead to the main stairs, that a ladybug, a beetle suddenly came out of nowhere to his nose. She was surprised of course, terrified even, but all that she was able to do was to scream in a screechy yet reverberating way, the mysterious yet magical words “alibadbaran.”

No one knows what language it comes from. But observers and followers of the story thought it to be an ancient prayer of wishing for something not only to die, but to kill. They have even propagated it, with their mass following, to have the English translation as “Insectophobia.”

They say insectophobia is different with the real phobia pertaining to the fear of insects. Although having the word insect in it, it doesn’t literally translate to “fear of insects.” It’s not even a real phobia. What is named is what’s behind the reaction, the brooding motivation behind that reaction, which can be summed up in four letters: “kill.” And yet, this killing isn’t the one of blood-thirst, but rather instinctive and as a result of accident.

The word has generated a lot of controversy and many people can relate to it, legitimizing the existence of such a feeling. Today, Insectophobia has become an enterprise, with its own line of fashion accessories from clothes, to bling, from the outrageous to the formal. Like animal cufflinks. Specially created to commemorate its etymology, Insectophobia has released, in its line of sterling silver cufflinks, the Ladybug cufflinks. Perfect to be worn in your “alibadbaran” moments.

The most difficult thing one would ask to a pet-lover, if there would be any, could be the one that affects not only the pet but also the owner’s mortality. More than any other question, what makes pet-owners wary to discuss are topics about the death of their pet.

In fact, even non-pet-owners understand the feeling of loss that permeates even without the death of a pet close to them. The very notion that sinks in to the psyche affects the whole mass of a person’s gait that even without the happening of a death, the body is already traumatized just by thinking of the idea. The brain experience shock and confusion. And the emotion? Well, it would be better to say that the emotion becomes a stream that takes along anything it can.

So what should one do when his pet already leaves him for a better place? The most ideal thing to do, aside of course from giving your pet a decent burial plus prayers to guide his soul as he climbs up to pet-heaven, is to commemorate the wonder of his taxonomic group—what mere humans call “species”. If, for example, your pet is a dog that belongs to the Dalmatian family, the best thing you could probably do is to share how Dalmatians—collectively and not your pet Dalmatian alone—are good at relationships compared to another species like women where your wife belongs.

You could do that by buying yourself animal cufflinks, but only those that are sterling silver cufflinks, to keep. Of course not just any kind but Sterling Silver Dalmatian Dog cufflinks that surely your wife would want to have.

Animals are such a darling. Artisans who make some of the most wonderful sterling silver cufflinks out there seem to believe so, too. It is obvious in their enthusiasm to create one-a-many animal cufflinks for us all to marvel at.

One of the most popular among these cute and cuddly cufflinks are the Sterling Silver Dalmatian Dog Cufflinks. One may wonder about how it may have looked like considering that Dalmatians are supposed to be black and white, and here, it says that it is made of sterling silver. Well, that’s how you get to test the creativity and resourcefulness of the artisans who are providing us with some of the most amusing jewelries in histories.

How they were able to pull off the design is way beyond plain craftsmanship. It is the work of a real talent. Not everyone has the same amount of imagination as the ones who made these cufflinks into being and there is no questioning why.

This is not to say, however, that they are among the elites and that we are all not worth it. In fact, such fact is a testament that everybody can do the same if they are only willing to be challenged. Jewelry-making requires effort and perseverance. It is not all about the talent. In fact, it is more about the skill and that can only be improved if you practice.

So do not only be amazed. Be inspired! If you really want to indulge into arts and crafts, then here is yet another opportunity for you to begin.
