Product Insights
This tie clip combines a modern matte brushed finish with a subtle rhodium plating that resists tarnish and crack, while its brushed texture conceals minor scratches for long-lasting wear. The 54 mm clip fits standard ties 6–8 cm wide and secures woven silk and knits securely via a serrated grip, but may leave light creases on delicate silk if over-tightened or worn extended periods. Its restrained design suits patterned ties and formal dress, though the base metal underneath the plating is undisclosed.

Deep Research
Brushed finish aesthetics and practicality
- The matte finish maps directly to the visual language of contemporary minimalism — style guides note that matte metal finishes read as modern and pared-back — so this clip feels at home with slim-fit suiting, skinny ties, and monochromatic color schemes, rather than the heavy, glossy accessorizing of old-world formalwear.
- Unlike polished silver tie accessories with a mirror-like shine, this clip's brushed surface scatters light to produce a soft, dull luster — this means it won't draw the eye away from the tie itself, making it the smarter choice when wearing a patterned tie or when a restrained office dress code calls for subtlety over decoration.
Rhodium plating longevity and wear patterns
- Rhodium’s high reflectivity on polished surfaces magnifies scratches and plate wear over time, but the brushed finish on this tie clip diffuses light, concealing the micro-scratches and thinning that would otherwise telegraph plate loss early.
- Because a tie clip is removed after wear and rests against fabric rather than skin, it escapes the constant abrasion that strips rhodium from rings in 12–18 months; jewellers classify it as an occasional-wear item with substantially longer re-plating intervals, which for a tie bar can mean the rhodium finish stays intact for many years without intervention.
- For tie bars and pendants, a rhodium thickness of 0.10–0.50 microns is considered adequate, in contrast to the 0.75–1.0 microns specified for rings; the thinner coating is a deliberate engineering choice that balances cost and durability for an item that never encounters the fingertip friction or body oils that degrade a ring's plate.
- Rhodium's well-known brittleness — plating thicker than 1 micron can crack under stress — is a non-issue for a rigid tie bar that stays flat; the clip's stiffness means the coating can be applied optimally thin for corrosion resistance without risk of the micro-cracking that sometimes plagues ring shanks.

Q&A
5 answered- What is the width of the tie clip?
- This tie clip is 54 mm in length, and based on similar Profuomo models, the width is approximately 5 mm [4].
- Does the serrated clip leave permanent marks or creases on silk ties after repeated use?
- The serrated clip is designed to hold ties securely, but it may leave light creases on delicate silk ties if over-tightened or left on for extended periods. We recommend removing the clip when not in use to avoid any permanent marks.
- Is the brushed rhodium finish prone to scratching or tarnishing over time, and how should it be cared for?
- The brushed rhodium finish is highly tarnish-resistant and durable — rhodium does not oxidize and is harder than gold, so it resists scratches better than many other platings [5]. For care, simply wipe with a soft, dry cloth and store in the provided box. Avoid contact with harsh chemicals.
- For ties of what thickness (e.g., knitted vs woven) is this clip suitable?
- This 54 mm tie clip is designed for standard dress ties (typically 6-8 cm wide) and works well with both woven silk and knitted ties. Its serrated grip can handle the texture of knitted ties without slipping, though very bulky or chunky knits may be too thick for the clip.
- What is the base metal underneath the rhodium plating?
- The product description lists the material as "100% Precious metal coating" [2], indicating the visible layer is rhodium, but the base metal underneath is not disclosed. Commonly, such accessories use brass or stainless steel as a base, but we cannot confirm the specific metal.
