Handmade in New Orleans
Every Alligator Pocket Square starts as a block of wax, hand-carved by Jose Balli — not pulled from a mass-production die. It's cast in solid sterling silver, gilded bronze, or white bronze using the lost-wax casting method, then hand-polished until the finish is right.
The patented magnetic mount is built into every piece, so it holds its shape from the first wear to the thousandth. Pocket Square™ Pocket Jewelry is a Jose Balli original — there's no authentic version of the Pocket Square™ anywhere else. Every order ships in its own branded box and pouch, ready to give as-is.
The Alligator Pocket Square has a patented magnetic insert built into the back. It sits in your jacket's breast pocket and attaches gently to the insert — no pin, no folding, no adjusting throughout the day.
No. The magnet sits inside pocket rather than piercing it, so it's safe for suit jackets, sport coats, and tuxedos alike.
Because it contains magnets, we don't recommend it for individuals with pacemakers or other magnet-sensitive medical devices.
Wipe it with our polishing cloth to keep it looking sharp. There's no dry cleaning, ironing, or refolding required — that's the point.
Each design starts as a hand-carved original, then is hand-cast and hand-polished in New Orleans. You won't find this shape on a rack anywhere else.
Yes — every order arrives in its own branded green box with a matching green pouch, ready to hand over as-is for weddings, groomsmen gifts, or any occasion worth dressing up for.
You're covered by our 100-day return policy — plenty of time to wear it out and be sure.
