On offer is an authentic, large handsome vintage NAVAJO hand wrought. 925 sterling silver fancy BOLO – BOLA TIE adorned with an amazing southwestern sky blue spiderweb hand cut and polished natural turquoise cabochon that is characteristic of the Lander County mine region of Nevada. The BOLO is not hallmarked which was quite common in earlier Native American material. It has the older Bennett Pat. We believe this impressive BOLO tie was created circa 1970’s. This traditional Native American BOLA – BOLO TIE was crafted with attention to detail and is in very good vintage condition (please see ALL photos for an accurate detailed depiction). The BENNETT clasp is in good working order. The silver plaque is adorned with silver rope and raindrop beads surrounding the natural southwestern Lander Nevada blue spiderweb turquoise cabochon stone. The turquoise stone measures approx. 1 1/16″ long x 1 5/16″ wide and is firmly and securely set in a plain silver bezel. The stone is in very good condition with no chips or cracks. The bolo plaque is attached to braided black leather cord that is clean, strong supple and wearable. The cord measures approx. 36″ long including the 1 3/8″ long silver tips. Overall, the bolo plaque measures approx. 1 3/8″ long x 1 1/2″ at widest. The silver and turquoise bolo with leather cord weighs 30.9 grams. This classic old Navajo sterling silver and natural southwestern spiderweb Lander Nevada Blue Turquoise BOLA – BOLO TIE would make an outstanding addition to any Twentieth Century Native American Jewelry, Southwest American Turquoise, Western Costume or Historic Cultural Arts collection. We have been involved in the design and creation of contemporary jewelry at the undergraduate and post graduate level since 1967. In 1975 we opened a gallery of hand wrought fine art contemporary jewels and have since handled thousands of unique, one of a kind and limited edition pieces crafted predominantly by American artisans with a special emphasis on Native American Art. Will be determined upon request. We believe our photos and description to be an accurate testament. Thus, ALL SALES ARE FINAL. However, mistakes do happen. Thanks for looking and good luck.
