Assert Your Style With A Monogrammed 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 variety of shapes, sizes and colors is so vast that you don't have to compromise on getting the exact money clip that you're looking for. The standard round, square, oval, and rectangular shapes are augmented by fancy-shaped ones. Stylistically they range from the purely functional to diamond-studded beauties.

You have a choice of stainless steel, titanium, platinum, white gold, silver or gold for the personalized money clip. The personalized money clip is unequaled as a gent's gift item. It enjoys a high image value, and is always appreciated. The real value lies in the fact that it can be personalized very easily by engraving the person's name or monogram on it.

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.

The hybrid money clip is a combination of the normal spring-action clip and a magnetic clip, arranged back to back. This way the user can carry larger amounts of cash and credit cards too.

You can also get money clips that are made of leather. Polished or matt-finished, these have an air of natural beauty. Black, brown, tan, dark green, buff or crme, the range of colors is sufficient for all tastes. Leather metal clips can be embossed with the person's initials or monogram.

Money clips come in novel shapes if your taste tends to that direction. Get a clip in the shape of a dollar sign, a paper clip or a horseshoe or anything that catches your fancy. More novel ideas are having a watch or a pocket knife or a compass built into the money clip. Sports fans like to get their money clip personalized with their team's emblem.

If you don't see what you're looking for you can get your money clip made to order. There usually is a minimum ordering quantity involved for such custom-designed personalized money clips, so you'll have to work out the economics.

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.
