This delightful vintage dress stud and cufflink set features a lovely selection of double-sided cufflinks with octagonal faces, alongside stunning dress studs, including smaller matching studs traditionally used to fasten the front of a formal dress shirt. The set also includes larger matching waistcoat buttons, creating a beautifully coordinated ensemble for formal evening attire.
Each piece is crafted in gold and silver plate, finished with fine engine-turned engraving around the edges and centred with rich jet black panels, giving the set a refined Art Deco elegance and timeless sophistication.

All pieces are neatly housed within their original fitted box by Austin Reed, adding to the charm and collectability of the set.
