World's most expensive necktie

Views on neckties tend to vary widely. To some, a necktie is a symbol of success and/or authority. To others, it can be seen as a leash or even a phallic symbol. Some think that only men should wear them, others see the tie as unisex. Regardless of what you may think of ordinary ties, you may be impressed by the world’s most expensive necktie.

The Satya Paul Design Studio, a company with roots in the early stages of India’s fashion industry, displayed the most expensive necktie in the world at a fashion show aptly titled “Cultural Ties” in Mumbai on October 29th, 2003. Tied around the neck of bollywood film star Salman Khan, this unique tie is made of pure silk with a pattern in 150 grams of gold. It’s also adorned with 271 diamonds weighing 77 carats weighing 77 carats total.

The world’s most expensive necktie was created for the Suashish Diamond group and priced at INR 1 crore—that’s 10 million rupees or, at the time, over $220,000.
