This tie bar is modeled after the unusual and exotic shape of the King Protea flower, Protea cynaroides. The genus Protea was named after the form-changing Greek god Proteus by Carl Linnaeus because of the diversity of its floral shapes. Protea, also known as sugarbushes, are native to South Africa, South America, Australia and parts of Asia.
This tie bar is 4.3 cm (1.7 in) in the longest dimension and fits most men's ties. It is available in lightly polished sterling silver and polished 14K gold plated brass and is ready for gift giving with a gift box, polishing cloth, and care instructions.
