This elegant vintage mid-century tie clip features a central Magen David (Star of David) symbol finely rendered in textured silver-tone metal with milgrain-style detail work. The emblem is mounted upon a natural mother-of-pearl (nacre) face plate exhibiting subtle iridescent sheen.
The face is set in a rounded square cushion frame with light-grooved trim borders and surrounded by a thin protective ring bezel. The back mechanism consists of a classic mid-century spring-action tension bar designed to hold neckties firmly in place.
