The bolo tie is the Southwest's contribution to formal dress, and Native American silversmiths have made it an art form. The Humiovi has offered bolo ties by Navajo, Zuni, and Hopi silversmiths, among others, since 1972 β sterling slides set with high-grade turquoise, Zuni inlay, and Hopi overlay, finished with hand-made silver tips. Every piece we represent as Native American-made arrives with a Certificate of Authenticity, recording its materials. Explore Native Americanβmade and Southwestern-style turquoise, coral, and inlay bolo ties that bring quiet authority to any collar. Authenticity guaranteed for every piece we represent as Native American-made.
Recognized as Arizona's official neckwear, the bolo tie pairs a decorative silver slide with braided leather and silver tips. In Native hands it becomes a showcase: a single museum-grade turquoise cabochon, intricate Zuni channel inlay, or crisp Hopi overlay set into substantial sterling. Each slide is a wearable piece of silverwork meant to last.
The Humiovi has cultivated relationships with Native American silversmiths since 1972. Signed pieces carry their maker's attribution. Where a bolo's tribe is known, its product page names it.
A bolo dresses up a Western shirt or adds character to a jacket and open collar. Adjust the slide to sit just below the throat. Protect the turquoise from moisture and cosmetics, and store the slide so the stone and silver are cushioned from other pieces.
