Double Sided Onyx Stud Set

[BigBrother]

When you buy very high-end bib tuxedo shirts, they tend to come with these neat tiny plastic spherical studs that are meant as placeholders until you insert the real thing.

Well, these got me thinking about looking for and buying actual spherical ones made of metal/onyx/whatnot. They might look very sharp, I thought, and since I've found a few reference pictures showing these. For example:

So my questions are:

1. Any experience with these? Do they tend to slip out more easily than their cylindrical counterparts? Are they useful? Do you like them? Etc.
2. Any leads on some relatively affordable ones? The only ones I could find on Amazon (Cuff Daddy) have terrible ratings owing to shoddy quality.

Thanks all!

I just posted about spherical studs. Another option I'm considering, which looks quite useful and versatile, is a combination onyx/mother of pearl studs and cuff links set:

Double Sided Onyx Round Beveled Stud Set

The Double Sided Onyx Stud Set is perfect for that special occasion. A round beveled edge of plated base metal borders Onyx stone for a sophisticated look. The details continue to the back of the cufflinks, where the fixed backing closure features the same beveled edge around a Mother of Pearl...

Has anyone used something like this? Do you like them? Do the curved-bar cuff links present a bit of an issue compared to the normal toggle bar type?

Thanks!
