My take:

I sourced this for the stone and the handwork: authentic White Buffalo from Cutting Edge Turquoise, set in solid .925 sterling by Navajo silversmith P. Yazzie. The slide moves smoothly and holds where I set it, and the extra-long 51” braided leather with 2½” sterling tips gives it real presence without being loud.

Why it works:

• Genuine White Buffalo cabochon (48 carats) in a clean sterling bezel

• Handcrafted by P. Yazzie (Navajo); smooth adjustable slide

• Comfortable braided leather cord, finished with 2½” sterling tips

• Unisex Southwest bolo tie that plays with denim, suiting, and wedding looks

• Stone sourced from Cutting Edge Turquoise
