Member Neal Thomas recently completed this very impressive hand-made bolo tie commissioned by a friend. (click to view larger images)

The stone is a intarsia of Biggs Jasper surrounded by black jade. The bezel, as well as the bennett clasp, is hand made from sterling silver. The beads on the tips are Biggs Jasper and black jade cut down to cylinders, polished and center drilled for the pin that connects them to the end caps. The tips and end caps were also hand made from thin sheet sterling.

We don't think Neal braided the leather cord...
