Description
This Bolo Tie has braided black leather and the sterling silver clasp features an Onyx cabochon and fine silver granulation accents. Granulation is the controlled process of melting tiny bits of metal into granules or tiny balls and fusing them to jewelry and has been utilized for thousands of years. The clasp has an antiqued patina, notched accents at the bottom, the outer edge has a hand hammered texture, and hand forged tie slides on the back. Sterling silver beaded tipped tie ends add the finishing touch.
Black onyx has been a highly revered gemstone for hundreds of years. It is believed to provide protection and was often worn as a talisman. It is considered to promote emotional well-being by absorbing negative energies and relieving mental stress.
You say you’d love to have a Bolo Tie but aren’t sure how to wear one? The traditional way to wear a Bolo Tie is to dress it up with a suit and collared shirt, just swap the necktie for a Bolo. Go business casual with a suit jacket or blazer, dark denim jeans, and collared shirt with the top button undone and wear the Bolo clasp loosened to the third button. Or, swap the blazer for a leather or denim jacket, keeping the collared shirt unbuttoned at the top and the Bolo clasp loosened so it sits around the 3rd button of your shirt and pair it with dark indigo or black jeans and cowboy or similar western heeled boots for a mix of contemporary style. There is no right or wrong way to wear a Bolo Tie as long as you wear it with confidence!
