Jewelry: Bolos

The flat forms of bolo ties provide Indian silversmiths with a perfect medium to demonstrate their mastery of silverwork and stonecutting. Their skills created colorful dancers, intricate geometric patterns, bold stampwork creations and a multitude of other distinctive and attractive designs. Such pieces are eagerly collected and worn by proud owners, however, and are therefore rarities on the market.
