Hello, elwitz-ga!
I lived in Alaska for many years and have a beautiful, gold-nugget
wedding band! Looking through Alaska jewelry sites online was a trip
down memory lane!
The following sites offer a good choice of gold nugget tie tacs, from
simple nuggets to tie tacs soldered into interesting shapes.
===
From the Alaska Guide Store:

Alaskan Gold Nugget Tie Tack
----------------------------
"Our authentic Alaskan gold nugget tie tack will set him apart from
the other fellows at work. It is made in Alaska from gold mined in the
state. Since the nuggets are shaped by the forces of nature, no two
are alike. It's an excellent gift idea. Alaskan Gold Nugget, a most
unusual gift handmade in Alaska by Alaskans. Tie Tack is crafted in
Alaska, by Alaskans from gold mined in Alaska. Tie Tack pin is 14kt
gold."
Each piece is handmade to order, production time 2 days.

"All tie tacs are natural gold nuggets soldered to a 14Kt. tie tac
pin. We also have button loop tie holders with nuggets, saving a
favorite tie from being poked full of holes by the tac. These and tacs
can be made with any size & shape nugget. Stick pins are made to

elwitz,
Can I ask why you chose to rate this answer so poorly after you said
to go ahead with the tie tacs that were suggested in the initial
clarification? When you provide such a poor rating, it reflects on a
researcher's ability to answer a question by not providing sufficient
research.
Actually, your original question dealt with finding online sites
offering gold nugget tie tacs. You were provided with several options.
Your question did not ask a researcher to find the exact tie tac that
would provide exactly what you wanted, which is subject to personal
taste.
Had you asked for additional clarification, and stated "what" types
of tie tacs you were looking for after looking through the
suggestions, I could have searched further. Instead, you chose to rate
my research abilities based on simply not finding what you wanted.
I am sorry you did not find what you wanted, and doubly disappointed
by such a poor rating.
