Custom designed handcrafted bolo tie for the groom

Custom designed handcrafted bolo tie for the groomsman @b_g.jpg on his wedding day. Solid sterling silver pendant with rivets and 45degree texture. The outside edges are fine polished which contrasts the lines on front and back. Absolutely loved making this piece as Benny new what he wanted - super clean lines, edgy, modern and one of a kind. So much so that he requested flat ties which was super fun to rethink the design elements to accomodate. I redesigned the silver clasp on the back and hand carved in wax first, then cast silver tie ends, to fit and hold the flat leather. Thanks to Christos @avenueroad.leatherworks for the beautiful custom made leather strap. Serious bolotie with swagger ⚡️🎶 for a celebration of love ❤️

A beautiful dance between fire and metal. Bringing all parts together with the flame to create unity and a strong bond by soldering on the bolo tie clasp to the pendant. Next pictures are the completed piece, stay connected ✨

Hand carved wax bolo tie ends. This beauty is going to have thick flat leather straps rather than me plaiting 4 thinner laces into a round whip plait which is more traditional. There’s a first time for everything and this one is all about the right fit so lots of checking and measuring. A big shout out to Christos from @avenueroad.leatherworks who custom made the straps for this bolo tie. It was a pleasure to work with someone who understands detail and craftmanship so stay connected to see the completed piece with his handcrafted leather straps in place. A true artisan! 💫⚒️

And so the transformation begins. A beautiful solid piece of 3mm sterling silver is cut out and hand shaped using saw blades and files. A joy is to see human finger prints covered in silver dust. 🎶

Native American Indian artist and his silversmithi

Native American Indian artist and his silversmithing space ~ A bit of land and items laid out around. Such simple tools like a flame oxygenated by a hand bellow has always put me in a state of awe and appreciation of how artisans all over the world historically created exquisite and complexed metal jewellery. Not visible in the picture are invaluable elements. The ones you can not hold in your hand but flow through them via the heart. Patience, curiosity, a willingness to let the earthy materials teach you and a desire to create something beautiful that tells the story of being people of this planet in all our tribes 🌏🎶

Super humbled to make this beautiful one of a kind

Super humbled to make this beautiful one of a kind handcrafted solid silver bolo tie design for @jimmybaymusic. Check out his song On My Way which is playing with the reel. The song was written in an artichoke field. It’s a beauty and so is his album Dirt Roads. 🎶

Handcrafted silver artichoke bolo tie ~ complete in all its character. Such a pleasure to make this piece for @jimmybaymusic, as a birthday gift from his mum. Jimmy is an incredibly unique and talented Australian songwriter and musician. One of his songs called On My Way was written in an artichoke paddock. It’s a beautiful song. Long live a life full of mysterious moments, truths and wild journeys. We live to tell the tale and share it with others. Check out his music 🎶

Riveting. Shadow and light.
Cold joining as a different way to bring two parts together. Silver post tips are hammering gently to push the metal sideways to lock into place the part on the underside.

Tools and a whole lot of beautiful solid shapes of silver. Marking and drilling out the holes on the base plate that will match the silver wire posts that will be soldered onto the artichoke. It will be a match made in the fire starting with opposites. It takes time to get it right so that each and all posts slide nicely into position. Stay connected to see this bolo tie come to life.
