Vintage Santo Domingo Turquoise and Silver Leaf Design Bolo Tie by Sam Lovato (SV8)
This unique sterling silver and turquoise man's bolo tie is a real statement piece! The slide on this tie holds a 2" x 2 1/4" piece of turquoise in a handmade serrated bezel with twist rope, droplets, and a silver leaf and blossom detail. The black, braided leather cord has silver tips that are joined to a turquoise and silver pendant with a similar design. Both settings are stamped with a conjoined SL for artist Sam Lovato, a noted Santo Domingo/Kewa silver artist.
This wonderful piece is part of a his-and-hers set made by Sam Lovato. The other pieces include a pair of clip-on earrings (SV20) and a necklace with large pin/pendant (SV7) - listed separately.
