Tuxedo Shirt Studs: Onyx & Pearl Sets

Start with the dress code. Black tie wants dark, low-shine faces — black onyx, dark mother-of-pearl, or smoked enamel; white tie calls for white mother-of-pearl. A stud is a removable button: a decorative face on a short post that drops through the stud holes of a bib-front (pleated or piqué) tuxedo shirt, with a hinged or fixed toggle holding it from inside. Confirm your shirt actually has open stud holes, not sewn-on buttons, before buying. Most formal shirts show three or four studs down the bib, and sets here usually pack four studs plus two matching cuff links so the metal and stone read consistent. Watch face diameter — roughly 9 to 12mm looks classic, anything larger reads costume. Handmade single sets of four run about $25-$70; full stud-and-link sets in sterling, onyx, or hand-set enamel land around $45-$140. Most stock sets ship in 3-7 business days; engraved or custom-stone orders need 1-2 weeks.

Filter by face material, metal, and set size, and use the related searches to jump to onyx sets, mother-of-pearl studs, or matching cuff-link bundles.
