Sterling Silver & Turquoise Bolo Tie Lapis Tips

A large oval turquoise cabochon, collected and held for years, anchors this sterling silver bolo. The surface is chalky and dry, a sign of age and authenticity. It’s framed in twist and beaded wire, forming a solid 3" x 2" centerpiece. The hand-braided leather cords end in 3" silver tubes, finished with lapis teardrops set in sterling.
