Blue Gem Channel Inlay Bolo Tie [SG-297]

This Zuni bolo tie displays vibrant Blue Gem turquoise in shades of juicy blue and green, arranged in a precise geometric pattern with silver dividers. The tapered rectangular slide measures 2 ½″ x 1 ⅜″, crafted from a heavy sterling silver slab with deeply hand-stamped and chiseled edges forming a bold picture frame border.

The turquoise originates from the historic Blue Gem Mine in Nevada, famed for producing some of the highest-grade turquoise. The back is fitted with an early Bennett C-31 clasp, patented in the mid-1950s and prized for its durability, it is a hallmark of authentic craftsmanship.

A fine example of Zuni craftsmanship blending traditional channel inlay with premium turquoise. The tie retains its original dark patina, braided leather cord, and silver tips, measuring 36″ in total length.
