Over the centuries, necklaces have been beloved pieces of jewelry, adorning the necks of men and women across cultures. For their wearers, necklaces often hold hidden stories and meanings that go beyond their aesthetic appeal, making them much more than a fashion statement. 

Bolo ties, worn by both men and women, are symbols of Western heritage, particularly in the American Southwest, where they represent individuality and a connection to a more casual, rugged lifestyle associated with cowboys and Native American culture. In 2007, the Texas Legislature named the bolo tie the official tie of Texas
