Very nice item, especially for the price!! It's held up fine so far, and has a nice grip. Looks classy too!

I've been using this for a while now. It is plain, simple, and elegant - great for what I need it for. There are only three downsides I've found:
1) The part of the clip that actually clamps to your tie only does so in one place - as such it has a tendency to rotate on this axis point from the slightest movements of your body. I find myself having to constantly adjust it so it is horizontal.
2) The tongs of the clip are actually quite sharp. One could easily cut their ties with it - especially soft fabric ties - if they weren't careful (you could probably saw small logs with the collective serrated edge).
3) It is fairly short in length, and most of my ties are too wide for it beyond about 2 inches from the neck. This isn't a problem with the product, per se; I should have noticed the length when ordering. I am not a "tie-clip connoisseur" by any measure and as such I presumed that they were generally all the same length. Apparently not - just be forewarned.
As inexpensive as it is, this product is still a bargain, so if you aren't really bothered by the minor drawbacks or just need it for a few occasions, this one is for you.

This was a great tie clip that I used for a craft project... Exactly what was advertised and what I needed. Thanks

This tie clip is plain silver, and it functions well. I am a medical student, so I needed a professional-looking way to get my tie out of the way when I am examining patients, dealing with body fluids, etc. It matches with any tie, fits better across skinnier ties (but still works with wider ties), and seems to hold its shine well. Seems to be pretty sturdy and the clamp has small teeth to hold it in place. I'm very pleased with it and wear it every day.
Great clip for the price

I was looking for a nice inexpensive tie clip to wear for some job interviews that I had. In that respect this is a great product. It has ample spring power to hold your tie down and looks good while doing so. The only bad review of this product so far says that the silver plating is thin and may be wavy. Mine is flawless in finish. The plating might be thin (IO really cannot tell), but what do you expect for a sub $20 piece? If you're worried about wearing through the silver, get a solid silver one and pay the pretty price tag. If you just want something functional that looks great and works, look no further.
