For ties, you need to look at 100% silk. Once you are in a decent material, just pick a pattern, cut and pricepoint you can live with.

alot of them say they are made with 100% silk including the ties for $20.
are there different types of silk though?
when i run my nails on some of them, they have this feeling of "stuck" just like worn wool pants and track jackets (not sure what the word is). Does this mean the tie is made from cheap silk?
