Vintage Inlaid Bolo Tie - Zuni Bolo Tie

This is a vintage bolo tie I could not resist. It is made by John and Rosalie
Bowanni, Zuni, over from Zuni, New Mexico. It about 5-10 years old,
Sterling Silver, and inlaid with Turquoise, Red Coral, Jet, and M.O.P.
Measures about 1-1/4" tall and about 7/8" wide. Signed by them on the
back. I had to install a new Black Leather String as it was missing the
original strings. kk-767

This is a really nice bolo tie, that my husband made along with a few more
of polished Arizona Petrified Wood. The stone in the picture is the one
you will receive however, what appears to be grey is actually more blue in
real life. Black nylon cords, and Nickle Silver tips. Stone measures about
1-1/4'' x 3/4'' x 5/8''. Thanks for your interest

New, Bolo Tie Arizona Petrified Wood

Vintage Navajo Bolo Tie. Turquoise,Silver,Brass Nice

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.

Vintage Turquoise Inlay bolo tie

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.
