If you are going to get dressed up for that formal occasion, it is the small details that matter the most. So, take the time to make sure you've covered your bases. Look for a formal set that had either a goldtone or sterling silver plated like this set. These sterling silver plated cufflinks and studs feature five distinct slots filled with black enamel and feature bullet/torpedo backs. The sterling silver plate is then sealed with a hard coat to reduce the need for polishing. I love technology! We carry this style in 14kt goldplated too! All formal sets arrive in handsome gift boxes. Great for wedding parties!
