TOP 5 TIE CLIPS WITH IMAGES
Introduc tion
Completing a formal ensemble involves putting the last, often subtle, touches to your suit or dress. For dresses, that touch could be a well-chosen necklace, earning, or bag. For a suit, the last touches of elegance usually come from cufflinks and the ever-present tie clip. Of course, tie clips can be a part of everyday office wear. However, there are some top-class tie clips out there that can be a statement in terms of pure class and style. Below are some examples of the top tie clips today:

Needless to say, this silver tie clip is a statement in itself. This clip's label is well-represented in its design. Its engraving comes all the way from Japan, but there’s nothing that isn’t manly about the design. An elegant check and the usual stipes in tough enamel could bring any look together.
2. The Ox and Bull Trading Co ‘Golf Club’ Tie Clip (around $45) With metal and silver plating, there’s very little that can go wrong with this as part of your formal ensemble. Perfect for a day at the golf club or just about anywhere that you care to display your love of the game. The clip itself is three-eighths of an inch in width two inches in length. Make sure it doesn’t go broader than your tie!

The brightly-colored stripes would enhance your formal dress no matter what occasion it is. This tie clip is a quarter inch in width and one and threequarters of an inch in length.

5. The Trafalgar ‘Raised Dot’ Tie Bar in Silver (a steal at $65) This uniquely designed tie bar clip is silver in color, but with a twist. The raised dots lend a dapper, eye-catching effect to this little trendsetter. The dots also serve to get some texture in the otherwise flat effect of any tie. Pair this with a slim tie and make a great impression wherever you go with this silvertoneplated gem.
Tie Packaging: The importance of tie clips is secondary only to the tie itself. Packaging can say a lot about a tie as well as the priorities of its supplier. Hence, if you’re interested in a tie business, put some thought into tie gift box wholesale. Once you have decided on a decent design, this would save you a lot of packaging for ties in the long run. Be sure to leave some room for a tasteful tie clip when you deliver your wares!
Conclusion: Some of the tie clips above are such a symbol of class that they are hard to find now. Even if you cant afford a high-end tie clip, be sure to look for one which shares some characteristics with the ones in vogue today.
