This bolo tie is handcrafted in Joshua Tree, California, where wide-open desert landscapes and rugged terrain inspire every detail of the work. Made from reclaimed sterling silver and genuine #8 turquoise sourced from the legendary #8 Mine in Nevada, this piece carries a deep connection to the land, its history, and traditional Southwestern jewelry-making. Each element is carefully hand-fabricated, resulting in a bolo tie that feels both timeless and bold — a true statement piece meant to be worn and lived in.
The centerpiece features natural #8 turquoise, prized for its soft blue to blue-green tones and distinctive golden to brown matrix. This highly sought-after stone is no longer actively mined, making it increasingly rare and valued among collectors and turquoise enthusiasts. Each stone is completely unique, with natural variations that ensure no two bolo ties are ever exactly alike. The turquoise is securely set in solid sterling silver, shaped and finished by hand for lasting durability and everyday wear.
Finished with a hand-braided leather cord and sterling silver tips, this bolo tie blends rugged western tradition with refined craftsmanship. The leather cord offers flexibility and comfort, while the silver tips add weight, balance, and a polished finish. Designed to age beautifully over time, the materials will develop a natural patina that reflects years of wear and character.
This piece is made slowly and intentionally, honoring traditional silversmithing techniques rather than mass production. From shaping the silver to setting the stone, every step is done by hand, resulting in a bolo tie that feels personal and substantial. It’s designed to stand on its own or be layered with other western-inspired jewelry for a more expressive look.
Whether worn with a crisp button-down, a denim jacket, or a well-worn flannel, this turquoise bolo tie adds unmistakable character. It’s perfect for those drawn to authentic western style, desert aesthetics, and handmade jewelry with a story behind it. Built to last and made to be worn often, this bolo tie is a timeless piece that connects craftsmanship, history, and the raw beauty of the American Southwest
