Monkey Fist Knot Rose Gold Vermeil Shirt Studs

Timeless Yellow Gold Monkey's Fist Knot Studs

The monkey's fist knot is a common sailing knot, but its unique shape was also incorporated into classic menswear as a cuff link and a stud design. Originally made of silk, we have captured the timeless design of the monkey's first knot in shining rose gold.

Traditionally, silver that is heavily plated with rose gold is referred to as vermeil, and with plating as thick as ours, we certainly think that these studs qualify! This thick plating ensures that the rose gold on these studs will never rub off, which is why Fort Belvedere insists on plating that is ten times thicker than that of our competition. This thick plating not only improves longevity, it also imparts a rich luster that will truly stand the test of time and allows you to enjoy the look and feel of solid rose gold studs, easily valued at over $1,000 each, for a fraction of the cost.

Shirt studs are designed to be worn with evening shirts, such as a pleated-front tuxedo shirt for Black Tie or a Marcella pique or boiled-front shirt for White Tie. For formal occasions, it is traditional to match metals, such as your wristwatch, watch chain, fob, or other metallic accessories. Traditionally, your shirt studs should exactly match your cufflinks, which is why Fort Belvedere carries both items as matching pairs.

Rose gold metals are traditionally worn with either Black or White Tie ensembles. Therefore, these studs are the perfect complement to any tuxedo, dinner jacket, or tailcoat, and their matching cufflinks could also be worn with day attire like a business suit at the office, tweed jacket, or navy blazer.
