Zuni Pueblo tie bars (also called tie clips or tie bars) are beautiful examples of Native American jewelry from the Zuni (A:shiwi) people of New Mexico. Zuni artisans are renowned for their masterful stone inlay work — especially channel inlay and mosaic techniques — using natural materials like turquoise, coral, mother-of-pearl (shell), jet (onyx), and more, set into sterling silver designs. These tie bars often feature traditional symbols such as the Knifewing (a deity figure), Thunderbird, Rainbow God/Man, Sun Face, or animal motifs, blending cultural significance with mid-20th-century Western accessories like men's tie bars.
