Vintage Hand Carved Cameo & Lapis Lazuli Tie Tacks
Silver Alloy, Mid-Century Era
A handsome lot of two vintage men's tie tacks. This set includes a classic hand-carved shell cameo depicting a Roman or Greek warrior profile, and a second tack featuring a polished oval cabochon of deep blue stone consistent with Lapis Lazuli. XRF analysis confirms both are made of a silver alloy, though not sterling. The cameo tack tests at approximately 69.7% silver, while the Lapis tack is a higher grade 84.2% silver, similar to some European standards.
• Set includes two distinct pieces: one carved shell cameo, one polished stone.
• XRF results show silver alloy content (69.7% Ag and 84.2% Ag respectively).
• Total combined weight for both tacks is 2.86 grams.
• Measurements (approximate): Lapis tack 0.6 inches; Cameo tack 0.4 inches.
Condition: Used. The tie tacks are in good vintage condition with visible tarnish and patina appropriate for their age. The carving and stone are secure in their settings. Both pieces include their clutch backs as shown in the photos.
