body of the Bolo Tie

cords- braided leather cord which makes up the necklace/necktie of the accessory. All bolo ties are a traditional 36" length and can be customized to a longer length at request

pendant-decorative jewelry piece that is the focus point of the necklace

slide-clasp that the pendant is attached to that holds the cords in place. If this is your first bolo, please be familiar with the slide on the back. If you slide the pendant without unlocking the clip it will scratch the leather cords. To lock the pendant placement you will flip the flap of the slide back down or up (depending on the style clip) where you want your pendant to lock. When clamping the flip, do so gently as the flap bites into the leather and takes time to wear in. Some leather is firmer than other batches and can cause extra pull from the slide

Bolo Care

  • Hang your bolo for storage to keep ends straight and eliminate curving. Hanging with the pendant at the bottom of the necklace will add weight to the ends to help straighten cords. You can also store it flat and covered in a drawer
  • Scratches on the leather cords do occur with this type of necklace style naturally. To minimize this try to clamp the clips in the same spots, and when adjusting the pendant. move with the grooves of leather gently the best you can.
  • Store your bolo away from sunlight, water, and pets
  • Brass pendants will need a shine after some time. We love polishing with BRASSO (Amazon or local hardware store) and a soft cloth. Many enjoy the antique look of the brass and choose not to polish
  • Invest in a leather protectant for your leather, we love MOO BUZZ which is all natural and will prevent leather from cracking or scratching. Leather protectant should not be used on the suede cords as it will cause discoloration. If you are not sure what kind of cord you have, please email us below

We are so confident in our product, every bolo tie has a lifetime warranty to be replaced if there are ever any issues. Please email me at Novembermaker@gmail.com with any questions and concerns.
