Description

Beaded Turquoise & Sterling Bolo Tie

This bolo tie is an authentic handcrafted piece, reflecting traditional Native American jewelry design. It embodies elements of Classic Indigenous styles, making it a versatile accessory for collectors, enthusiasts, and those seeking a unique statement piece. The combination of turquoise, coral, and intricate glass beadwork is emblematic of Navajo and Zuni craftsmanship, often seen in ceremonial and high-quality artisan jewelry.

Technique:

The silversmithing and beadwork techniques used in this piece showcase traditional Native American jewelry-making methods, including:

  • Hand-beaded inlay framing: A delicate and time-consuming process where glass beads are meticulously arranged to create a symmetrical, sunburst-inspired design.
  • Hand-cut and polished turquoise stone: The natural 33.2 x 19.6 mm turquoise centerpiece has been shaped and polished to fit seamlessly into the bolo’s design.
  • Sterling silver smithing: The bolo setting and tips are crafted from solid sterling silver, marked and dated by the artisan (March 1995). The textured, saw-tooth edge of the pendant gives the piece an additional handmade character.
  • Leather craftsmanship: The braided leather cord ensures durability and comfort, providing an authentic Western bolo tie aesthetic.
