The Accessory That Speaks For You - A Personalized Money Clip

By Ned Dagostino

In the realm of gent's accessories the personalized money clip stands out for its affordable elegance and individuality. The money clip is a purely utilitarian device to clip together currency notes and cards. It reduces the wallet bulge we are all so familiar with. But why stop at utility when you can choose one which is elegantly stylish as well? Whether you're buying one for yourself or as a gift for someone special, you can't go wrong with a personalized money clip. Selecting the right one is no problem because the variety of money clips is almost limitless.

The personalized money clip is a popular gift item because there is a vast range to select from. They come in just about every shape and material. They can be decorated with jewels to make them exquisitely extraordinary!

The most popular money clips are made of metal, from stainless steel to royal gold. Whatever the material used, the money clip decorated with the recipient's name or monogram is a well-received and well-appreciated gift. It is one of those very rare examples of a utilitarian item which is a luxury item at the same time.

A magnetic personalized money clip is a source of envy for those who don't possess one. It consists of two leather-encased flat magnets which can be swiveled shut or open. It accentuates the masculine persona very emphatically.

When the ordinary money clip does not suffice to carry the cash and cards the user wants, the hybrid money clip takes over. It is a standard money clip, with an additional magnetic plate hinged at the back. This way the cards and the cash are carried separately in the same money clip.

Leather money clips are very impressive. Leather denotes rugged masculinity, and the leather money clip is favored by the outdoors type. You can get these in all the colors traditionally associated with leather like black, brown, tan, dark green, and even crme. Emboss your initials on the leather with gold leaf, and see the guys drool over it!

Standard shapes for a money clip are round, oval, rectangular and square. More fanciful shapes are available for people who like novelty. A dollar sign, a paper clip, and a horse-shoe are among the dozens of fanciful shapes that money clips are readily available in. To add to the novelty value, some money clips have accessories like a watch, or a penknife, or a compass built-in.

If you want to be outrageously stylish, you can have a money clip made according to your design. Such custom-crafting facilities are expensive, because there will be a minimum quantity that you must buy.

A personalized money clip is more than a utility accessory. It is you. It states the person you are in a very subtle manner. Use this attribute of the money-clip to your advantage. You don't have to shout out your personality to the other person, just let your personalized money clip do the talking. That's class! Take your time to find the one personalized money clip that suits your personality best, within the price range that you have set.

A personalized money clip is a great combination of style and functionality at a reasonable price. As an accessory it is very practical, as a status symbol it is very classy. As a gift item, it is the best choice for all occasions. Just take the time and trouble to select the personalized money clip according to the nature of the person you're giving it to. Be on hand to see the look on his face when he sees that beautiful money clip with his initials emblazoned on it! - 15683
