The Pointed end with a sharp bowtie-tip is a typical shape of a bow tie. Historically, there are several variations with different width, and the impression of the knot varies. Like the design of the eyeglass frame, the impression will look different even if the bow tie end-width changed only 0.5 cm. We propose variations of Pointed end 2cm, 3cm or 4cm width.
