I had been searching for months for an appropriate "ruby" gift for my husband on the occasion of our fortieth wedding anniversary, and had actually given up and ordered something else, when I saw this. It is a nice piece of costume jewelry that perfectly filled the bill.

The tie tack looks great. It looks better with lighter coloured ties, but works well. Love it.

Love it! I bought my husband cufflinks years ago and these match perfectly!

I combined this tie tack with the silk puff tie in hunter green and the look works. This tie tack holds a strong colour, gives you the look of a rich gentleman and looks so much better in reality than in the pictures. If you don't look too close you might mistake the stones that frame the ruby section for diamonds. And on top of it all it comes safely in a hinged box. Would buy it again!

Nice subtle spark to top off an ensemble.

This ruby tie tack is beautiful. The stone is big enough to give color and sparkle without being overwhelming.

This is a beautiful tie tack. Extremely high quality with a very low price. The metal is strong, the stones are very reflective and the profile is great. The deep setting and locking back keep the pin in place and standing proud of any tie or ascot.

Shines and glimmers very well. Looks very expensive. Had someone ask me how long I had to save up for it actually! Satisfied. :)

Normally we LOVE everything we get from Historical Emporium. Unfortunately we ordered this at last minute and, while the shipping was just light speed awesome, we were not able to check it out until Halloween. When my husband went to put it on, the clasp didn't...well, clasp! Very disappointed that we couldn't use this as we had no other tie tack but it didn't ruin the costume. It looks great--really great to be honest, but it's just not useable without a working clasp.

This tie tack tacks a tie terrifically.

Will look lovely with my outfits

After much debate on what to wear for Comic Con this year (I vacillated between investing in a high-end Star Wars costume, the Bandersnatch from Alice in Wonderland, etc), I at last decided to go as a Victorian Doctor and purchased an ENTIRE outfit along with many accessories, all at the VERY last minute, from Historical Emporium. Everything I ordered was in stock (Woot!) and I upgraded the shipping to Next Day Air based on my indecisiveness and my waiting to order 3 days before Comic Con. I placed my order on Sunday night. My order arrived Tuesday! EVERYTHING I ordered was perfectly amazing and of high quality! I was (am!) blown away! AND, to top it all off, Historical Emporium refunded my Next Day Air Shipping ($63!) because I live in Southern California, which is within their 1 day ground shipping zone already. What? Who does that? Holy moly - what a great company, what outstanding service and what amazing products! I'd write more but Comic Con starts in 24 hours and I've got to get ready!

This looks quite good, but the tack part seems a little fragile. It did not break, which is why 4 stars, but it seems like one day it will.

Fell apart first time I used it. Being that it is so inexpensive, it should almost be expected. Editor's note: We have provided a replacement tie tack for this customer.
