Yes, you need a Petoskey Stone tie tack!

•Stones typically measure 11mm to 15mm in diameter
•Each is securely attached to a silver electroplated tie pin and clutch with t-bar chain.
•Handmade using natural stones.
•Please allow for slight variations in color, shape and size of the stones. Each fossil is unique!
•Stone origin: Northern Michigan
•Gift box included.

►WHAT IS THIS THING ANWAY / HOW TO!? A tie tack is snazzy tie jewelry with fun AND function – pin to your tie to keep it from swaying and add an unforgettable decorative accent to your outfit.

•Insert the T-bar through the third buttonhole on your shirt.
•Push the pointed post through your tie
•Insert the post into the clutch hanging from the chain. Hold the clutch with your fingertips and slide the post into it.
•Now you’re sorted!The chain will live behind the tie and keep it from swinging.
•When pinning: don’t stretch or pull your tie tight, instead, allow it to hang naturally so it doesn’t bunch up or create a larger hole when you push the post through it.
•Can’t pierce your nose or ear at work? Be a tie-piercing rebel! Yep, whenever you use a tie pin, there will be a small hole in your tie. After wearing, you can gently steam the little hole with an iron, to make it shrink a bit. (Please do not steam your nose or ear or anything else you may have pierced already.)

►ABOUT THE STONE:
A Petoskey stone is both a rock and a fossil, composed of fossilized rugose coral, Hexagonaria percarinata. Such stones were formed as a result of glaciation, in which sheets of ice plucked stones from the bedrock, grinding off their rough edges and depositing them in the northwestern portion of Michigan’s lower peninsula.

Each is unique and one of a kind, and made by hand by Cyberoptix founder, Bethany Shorb.

They are intuitively sourced in person, in Los Angeles, Tucson and Quartzsite AZ gem shows from the most reputable suppliers.
