Bolo Ties
Bolo ties (sometimes bola tie) is a type of necktie consisting of a piece of cord or braided leather with decorative metal tips or aglets (aiguillettes) secured with an ornamental clasp or slide. (Bolas from Spanish "ball" are throwing weapons made of weights attached to the end of cords.) In the United States Southwest bolo tie slides and tips in silver have been part of Hopi, Navajo, and Zuni silversmithing traditions since the mid-20th century. The bolo tie was made the official neckwear of Arizona in 1971. New Mexico passed a non-binding measure to designate the bolo as the state's official neckwear in 1987. On March 13, 2007, New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson signed into law that the bolo tie is now the state's official tie. All of our bolo ties are Native American made of sterling silver. Price includes FREE SHIPPING.

Over the years, her daughters, Georgiana Yatsattie, Gloria Jean Garcia and Susie Calavaza have assisted Effie in jewelry making and their work is so exactly like their mother's that even family members have difficulty telling them apart.
