Bolo ties (also called bola ties) consist of a braided leather cord (often black) with decorative metal tips, secured by an ornamental slide or clasp—typically handcrafted from sterling silver and adorned with gemstones like turquoise, coral, or other materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpondylus shell, sourced from warm Pacific waters off Baja California and other coastal regions, is a beloved material in Native American jewelry, especially among Navajo, Zuni, and Hopi artisans. The interior of the shell reveals beautiful natural colors ranging from white and soft pink to deeper orange, red, or purple, often with subtle striations or marbling that give each piece a unique, organic look. Pink shades like this one are rarer and more understated compared to the brighter orange or red varieties, evoking a sense of purity and balance in traditional designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProvenance:  From the Len and Toni Wood Private Collection, Laguna Beach, California\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antique American Indian Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47453642326181,"sku":"5231-597","price":168.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/6071\/5685\/files\/5231-597_1_1.jpg?v=1769793554","url":"https:\/\/antiqueamericanindianart.com\/products\/navajo-bolo-tie","provider":"Antique American Indian Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
