 Agate Grey
£35.00
A business like colour scheme combined with interesting patterns. The fact that the patterns are not repeated tells you that this is no ordinary, mass produced tie. Available only in silk.
|
Montana Agate Blue
£35.00
A wonderfully evocative name making you think of the Big Country with big skies - and there the sky is on the tie!
A distinctive tie that's perfect for more informal and social occasions.
|
Agate Shades Of Colour
£35.00
A relaxing tie that makes you think of sunsets and the sea.
A really smart tie for business as well as leisure.
It is a banded agate, and the red tones come from infusions of quartz when the mineral was being formed at massive temperatures millions of years ago.
|
Lava Flow
£35.00
What do you make of this image? We see molten lava on the right, a dark chasm in the middle, and scorched earth to the left. Well, it is an agate formed inside the molten earth.
Whatever, it creates a stunning tie that is interesting without being too forceful.
As with all our ties, the colours need to be seen printed on silk. They really are outstanding.
|
Sober Amethyst
£35.00
Amethyst in Ancient Greek meant "not intoxicated", and both the Greeks and the Romans wore amethyst amulets in the belief that it would stop them getting drunk.
You can try the same with this tie, but we offer not guarantees of its effectiveness. None!
Amethyst, by the way, is a violet coloured variety of quartz.
|
Mocha Branches
£35.00
This is a beautifully toned tie with the "mocha" and orange blending with the dark brown of the branches.
The perfect coffee shop tie? We think so.
It is an agate and the branches are formed by dendrites, intrusions of other minerals at the molten formation stage.
|
Snowflake Obsidian
£35.00
The perfect Christmas present - or for any time in winter - with that wonderfully evocative name.
People will ask so obsidian is a naturally occuring glass formed when lava cools without quartz being present. Snowflake is a crystal of obsidian that indeed forms a similar shape to a snow crystal.
|
Bloodstone Blues
£35.00
This is one of Professor Richard Weston's favourite ties, and he says that it always evokes a positive response whether with the world of architects or academia.
Bloodstone is a form of jasper, called Heliotrope by the Ancient Greeks who regarded it as a valuable gem stone.
|
Agate Ochre
£35.00
A warm, elegant design that's full of motion and mystery.
A tie that can be worn anywhere in our opinion.
It's an agate with the red elements created by infusions of molten quartz.
|
Mica Mono
£35.00
This is a fantastically "cool" tie that defies categorisation.
It's fascinating, original and natural, yet it could have been created by a very expensive designer to be sold only in shops with guards on the door!
The silk gives it a clarity and style that perfectly complements the design.
|
The Galaxy
£35.00
Some people are reminded of water when they see this tie, but we prefer to think of it as an image of somewhere out in deep space when galaxies were forming.
That deep, deep blue seems to go on forever with the white planets still in formation.
Actually, it's a fragment of quartz that was created about the time this planet was, so the interpretation is not far off.
|
The Flowing Tie
£35.00
This is Fluorite (also called fluorspar) named after the Latin meaning "to flow", and you can see the swirling movements in this interesting tie.
But it's also that magnificent green colour that makes it so popular.
Another any-occasion tie - well, almost any...
