70s modernist agate & sterling bolo tie slide

a sculptural vintage bolo slide featuring a dramatic banded agate cabochon in a bold, prong-set sterling setting. the crossed-back construction and ribbed cord barrel give it that clean, modernist western feel that pairs just as well with denim as it does with a sharp blazer. bolo ties became a staple of american western style in the mid-20th century, and stone-forward slides like this are the pieces collectors reach for when they want a real statement. wear it on a classic braided leather cord for traditional cowboy styling, or thread it onto a ribbon or narrow scarf for a more fashion-forward take.
