UNISEX!
If you ever wondered what Spiny Oyster looks like in it's natural form,this is it!!! It's name is given for obvious reasons!
This fabulous looking Puebloan bolo tie is made by the hands of Kewa Pueblo artist "Warren Nieto"..Warren put his own artsy twist into this, while staying traditional when it comes to old school techniques.Made with the whole spiny shell where he mosaic inlaid round & oval cuts of Sleeping Beauty turquoise all along the top & then laid cuts of shimmery Mother of Pearl & black jet which lay along the perimeter & sit between the turquoise & shell.
I love the tips on this & are designed to match the bolo..They are nice & thick & have as much going on as the top portion! Comes with a brown braided leather strap that is durable & has a locking mechanism on the back for adjustment,so you can wear this high or low!
Perfect for men or women who love Pueblo pieces that have a southwestern/western edge!
