Lovely tie. Not quite as pretty as the picture but still very nice. My husband looked great in it with a navy suit and white shirt on.  Very sharp looking. However, be forewarned, The picture doesn't show the small yellow stitching next the the white outlines on the stripes. The yellow stitching is not very big and hardly noticeable unless you're right up to the tie, looking at it closely. But as I said, the tie looks sharp with a navy suit. We didn't use the cufflinks. Bought this set for the tie.
