Product Insights
The Calas Lily Tie Pin by Tateossian is a hand-carved calla lily from natural Brazilian semi-precious stone with a frosted finish, set in rhodium-plated brass and made in the UK, offering a romantic alternative to geometric tie bars; its matte stone absorbs light to contrast with the polished metal stem, and the vertical silhouette elongates the torso, but it requires ties at least three inches wide in lighter colors and is best reserved for formal social events, with a secure locking clasp that leaves a small unnoticeable hole in silk, while the rhodium plating may abrade over time but can be reapplied by a jeweler.
