A single article weighs 1.7 g, which is under the 7.78 g statutory exemption weight for silver. It is therefore lawfully sold unmarked, and we state that rather than implying a mark.

Separate stud

A two-part stud that passes through the placket hole of a dress shirt and is secured behind. Required for shirts with stud holes rather than buttons.

We state the mechanism and suggest checking the fastening each time you put the article on. We make no claim about how securely any mechanism holds.

03  /  Dress code

Dress codes vary by occasion and by host. These tiers are a common-practice reference, not a rule — where an invitation states something specific, follow the invitation.

06  /  About this article

A dress shirt has holes down the placket instead of buttons. These studs pass through from the front and are secured behind by a hinged bar. Cufflinks do not do this job and cannot be substituted.

Each stud weighs 1.7 g, under the 7.78 g silver exemption, so the set is lawfully unmarked.
