Elizabeth Parker Mother of Pearl Dress Stud & Cufflink Set - Gold Round

This Elizabeth Parker formal set includes four round dress studs and matching cufflinks, all showcasing genuine mother of pearl set within gold-tone frames. The lustrous natural shell displays iridescent shimmer with subtle colour shifts of cream, pearl, and silver—creating a coordinated look that's both traditional and refined for the most formal occasions.

This complete set ensures perfect coordination from cuffs to shirt front, the hallmark of proper black-tie dressing. The mother of pearl brings organic beauty and light-catching elegance to formal wear, elevating a crisp white dress shirt to black-tie perfection.

Natural beauty: As with all natural materials, no two pieces of mother of pearl are exactly alike. The colour and iridescent patterns in your set may differ slightly from images, ensuring your pieces are truly one-of-a-kind. This natural variation is what makes genuine shell superior to synthetic alternatives.

A note on tradition: Dress studs originated in the mid-19th century when formal shirt fronts were heavily starched—too stiff to accommodate standard buttons. Today, they remain the proper choice for black-tie attire, replacing buttons on formal dress shirts (also called pique front or formal front shirts) to create the refined aesthetic expected at the most important occasions.

Styling notes: This set is designed specifically for formal dress shirts with stud holes and French cuffs. The round mother of pearl against crisp white creates the classic black-tie aesthetic—refined, elegant, and appropriately formal.
