The Timeless Dignity of the Black Opal Cufflink

The black opal cufflink is one of the classiest pieces of jewellery that can be worn by a man. First of all, these types of cufflinks are very subtle pieces of black opal jewelry that have a serious masculine feel to them. At first glance these dark opal cufflinks might look as if they were set with jet or hematite -- that is until they start flashing fire! They add quite a bit of visual interest to a plain white shirt especially if they are set in gold. However because high quality stones flash as many as six or seven colors there are very few shirts or suits that black opal cufflinks would not go with.

As black opals are very expensive, the man who wears a black opal cufflink appears wealthy and confident. However as the stone is somewhat unconventional too, black opal cufflinks also symbolize a person who is open minded, imaginative and creative.

Some black opal jewelry flashes a red fire and no other color. This is ideal for the man who wants to wear cufflinks that express his inner urban warrior. Masters of hoodoo and voodoo associate this black and red fire with the African God Chango who was famous for his sexual prowess and love of cigars.

You will find the black opal cufflink in the usual shapes and designs including the oval, the square, the button shape and the diamond. However when shopping for any type of opal cufflinks keep in mind that the more inlaid the opal is into the cufflink's setting and the more strongly framed it is by a precious metal the less likely it is to be damaged by every day wear and tear.
