| Hello there. This is a vintage bolo tie, I acquired from an old pawn shop in Winslow, Ariz. which borders the Navajo Nations. It is first of all, fairly old, ca. late 60's or early 70's. It is made of Sterling Silver (tested), Brass, and two Turquoise cabs. The Turquoise could be natural or stabilized, there is noway to tell. The entire tie weighs in around 40 grams, and is about 2-1/4'' tall by about 1-3/4'' wide. The Outer band which is stamped is polished brass, while including the rope twist silver band is silver from there in. The floral pattern around the nuggets as well as the saw tooth bezels are brass, again polished. The cabs of Turquoise are about 3/8'' diameter. The strings appear to be leather , brown and tan braided together, with silver bell and long stem tips. It is hallmarked, but for the life of me , cannot figure out the name, meaning or other. Will leave that up to you. Interesting though. Thanks for your interest. Item ID: kk-167 |
| This vintage bolo tie is about one of the cutest I have seen in a long time. Now, there are no markings of any kind on this, so cannot begin to say where it was made. I would think Mexico, as the theme of the little Mexican on his donkey would dictate that, but no way to prove it. It is not silver, as I tested it , so comes out nickel silver. The Turquoise is chip inlay, and it is done so tightly, you cannot see any cracks or spaces with the naked eye. Measures about 1-3/4'' wide at the top, and about 1-5/8'' tall in the center. It is a slide bolo, and I have included a picture of the back so that you may make up your own mind on this piece. The work is done very very well. Thanks for your interest in this beautiful older bolo tie. I would estimate this one to be about 30 years old or more. Item ID: kk-213 |
| Tommy Singer the World Famous Navajo Silversmith. His distinct style of Indian Jewelry is recognized all over the world. Tommy is Navajo and considered as one of the greatest contemporary Indian jewelry silversmiths of our time. His Native American Indian jewelry work is easy to recognize and collected by many all over the world. Tommy was born 1940 in Winslow Arizona and has been making jewelry for almost 30 years. He learned the designs of Silver smithing from his father when he was just 7 years old. His Father Tsinnigine Hathali was a Navajo Medicine man. Related to Betty Betoney. Tommy uses many of the traditional rug-making and pottery designs of the Navajo. Tommy began creating jewelry full-time at the age of 21. His early works were done in the Silver overlay technique. His work soon began to feature Turquoise stones. While working with scrap turquoise chips, Tommy pioneered the technique of Chip inlay used by thousands of artists to this day. For many years Tommy and his family created jewelry using the Chip inlay style. In recent years, Tommy has returned to his roots by creating Exquisite Silver overlaid jewelry with intricate designs. This incredible Bolo tie, is a few years old. It is NOT new but was most likely only worn for "special" occasions. It is incredible to say the least. Sleeping Beauty Turquoise nestled in very heavy Sterling Silver. Heavy Solid Silver tips, drums and rings at the bottom with Tommy's own unique and very recognizable style, and all of that on 1/4" heavy black braided leather strings. This is one of the most beautiful Bolo Ties you will ever find. It is made by Navajo Tommy Singer, who is legend all over the world. His work cannot be matched. He is second generation Jewelry maker, having learned from his father and continuing the family tradition. Tommy has been making exquisite jewelry now for over 30 years. Now on with this incredible Bolo Tie. Although he continues to use a similar style such as this, he no longer makes any exactly like this. The slide which is made of heavy Sterling Silver is about 2-3/4" tall by about 2" wide encasing a very large center stone of Sleeping Beauty Turquoise which is about 1'' tall by about 3/4" wide. The Leather braided Bolo Tie Cord is about 1/4'' thick and is finished at the bottom with several different Sterling Silver Pieces starting with the bottom which is a squash blossom about 7/8" in length not counting the bail and then the large Sterling Silver "Drum" which is etched with various Navajo signs and measures about 3/4" long by about 1/2" wide which is fastened to the long heavy Sterling Silver Drops which are about 2-1/4" in length. Signed on the reverse of the slide "Thomas Singer" and Sterling, this would not only be the talk of your friends but one of the most amazing pieces ever owned .#TS-BT-001 |
