Bobcat Skull Bolo Tie: Brass or Sterling Silver, Western Goth

This bolo tie features a miniaturized lifelike skull of the bobcat (Lynx rufus) also known as the red lynx or the wildcat. Original bobcat skull with shield backplate design, meticulously hand-carved from wax by artist Spring Winders, then cast in very small batches in the Heliotrope studio in Barrio Viejo, Tucson, AZ. This tie provides a unique focal point in a traditional Western look, or a completely original addition to a darker goth vibe. You won’t find anything like it anywhere else!

About the Bolo Tie
Texas, New Mexico and Arizona all claim the bolo tie as their own, but since we're born-and-raised in Arizona, we'll tell it like this: legend has it that a cowboy from Wickenburg looped a hat band around his neck & called it a tie. Now it is the Official State Neckwear of Arizona, admissible as formalwear from the courtroom to the steakhouse. But that was then. Now, bolo ties have moved beyond the cowboy niche, embraced by people of all genders as centerpieces of iconic looks. Classic Western? Absolutely. But also stunning with everything from tank tops to bespoke suits – just ask Beyoncé and Shaboozey. And yes, you're also cool enough to rock one––they even look good worn over t-shirts, pulled lower like necklaces. Bolo ties make amazing wedding gifts for your groomsmen and bridesmaids: Heliotrope has a wide variety of designs and can ship a group order with each tie in giftable, ribboned-wrapped boxes. Metal jewelry should be high-quality and hand-poured by the artist, not pumped out in some overseas factory then marked up for cheap sale online. Heliotrope offers you timeless treasures, crafted with care in Tucson, Arizona.
