East meets West with the Button Bolo Necklace, a seamless combination of the art of traditional Chinese knotting with the iconic Western bolo tie. This necklace features a flat button knot as the central concho and spherical button knots tapering into bolo tips.
Rooted in history, Chinese knotting dates back to 1100 BC-256 BC, with the button knot being used for practical applications such as garment closures and belts. The bolo tie, originally crafted by Native American artisans who adorned silver clasps with symbols of their tribe, became a staple of Western fashion, adopted by ranchers and cowboys and later widely worn by many today.
Cast in solid Sterling Silver, the Button Bolo Necklace pays homage to the legacy of both traditional art forms, becoming a wearable intersection of heritage and design.
