Tie Chain

A tie chain is a neckwear-controlling device. This accessory is composed of two parts, a durable clip and a chain (typically of gold or silver). The clip attaches to a buttonor attaches to the placket on the shirt and when properly worn is covered entirely by the tie. The chain is then left to rest across the necktie, keeping the tie secure.
