About this piece

Fossil Reef is a one-of-a-kind curated-stone bolo tie. A curated fossil-coral stone in sand and cream, holding the memory of a reef from Southeast Asia. Two-tone braid, copper tips. The stone itself comes from Southeast Asia; it was cleaned, tumbled and hand-polished on the lapidary wheel in Kona, where the tie is finished. The cord is two-tone braided leather, roughly 36–40″ adjustable, finished with copper-tone metal tips. The slide closes with a metal clasp on the back. $145, in stock; ships free in the US with a hand-signed provenance card.

How it wears & care

Keep the leather cord dry and put the bolo on last, after lotion, sunscreen or cologne has dried. Wipe the stone with a soft dry cloth and store it flat or hanging somewhere cool and dry.
