This antique-style tie clip is made from folded metal, and its arch fits neatly into the tie better than the standard spring clip style, giving it a very stylish look. While spring clips are the easiest to use, this style of tie clip has the advantage of being simple, easy to match, and stylish. [Spring metal, phosphor bronze] The metal used is "phosphor bronze." I'm sure there are not many people who have heard of phosphor bronze. Phosphor bronze is made by adding tin to copper and deoxidizing it with phosphorus. It is a metal with excellent spring properties and high strength, and because it has high thermal conductivity, it is widely used for everything from electronic equipment parts to industrial springs. It is rare to see it used as an accessory, and it is a metal that is not very familiar to the general public. The reason we used phosphor bronze for this tie pin is because its "springiness" is important. If a tie pin of this shape were made from brass, the gap would inevitably widen with use. To mitigate this disadvantage, we decided to use phosphor bronze. (Note: While the gap is smaller than with brass, the gap will inevitably widen depending on the length of use and how it is used. Thank you for your understanding.) [High-quality, carefully crafted] The metals are plated with gold or black nickel or silver rhodium substitute, and the surface is honed/sandblasted (matte). Compared to the satin-finished Tps-014, it has a more subdued appearance. While honing is sometimes used for jewelry making, it is also used to polish the inner diameter of machines. Tie pins made with honing have a luxurious feel like jewelry, but also a somewhat mechanical feel. The tie pins are manufactured at our factory in Osaka. They are MADE IN OSAKA and are carefully pressed and polished by skilled metalworking craftsmen. \\\*To find the satin-finished tie pin Tps-014 in the same shape as this product, search for "Tie pin Tps-014" in the Amazon search box. /// *Although the products are carefully polished, minor scratches caused by the characteristics of the material or during the manufacturing process cannot be removed.
