The tie clip is a practical object with an aesthetic function. It keeps the tie in place, which is its job. But it also adds a horizontal line to the shirt front that introduces a degree of precision that a loose tie lacks. Worn at the correct position, between the third and fourth shirt button, it looks as though it has always been there. These are tie clips from Codis Maya and Amanda Christensen, in silver and gold-plated finishes, for the man who has noticed the difference.
