To create the rustic bark texture on this sterling silver tie slide, the surface of the silver is hammered, oxidised (where the silver is blackened) then rubbed back, leaving the recesses darker and a matt brushed silver finish. This creates the irregular 'striped' bark effect. The design is a classic tie slide, but with this unusual surface texture, makes it ideal for someone who loves the outdoors (a gardener or someone who works with trees perhaps) and would be great to wear to an event such as a woodland wedding. I also make a pair of coordinating cufflinks to go with this tie slide: Bark Texture Oxidised Silver Cufflinks Hallmarked with my Louise Mary ‘LM’ makers mark by Birmingham Assay Office (see close up photo) This tie slide will arrive beautifully packaged in a Louise Mary branded gift box tied with ribbon. Each piece is carefully hand crafted using traditional techniques in my jewellery and silversmithing studio in South Derbyshire, England.
