What a lovely gift idea for your favorite lady and her long hair! This shimmery blue and gold barrette and earring set will make a thoughtful impression with its design inspired by a pine forest in the moonlight and tiny tree silhouettes.
The coordinating handcrafted pieces are made from upcycled leather. The images were created by pressing sprigs of juniper pine into raw leather, capturing nature's handiwork with a twist of scale. The result is an eye-catching piece of wearable art in brilliant dark blue and shimmery gold moonlight.
The barrette is sturdy, designed for daily wear, yet also delicate and just dressy enough for almost any occasion. The earrings are amazingly lightweight and comfortable to wear.
What size barrette should I get?
Large is a standard "large" barrette
- The clip: 3" (80mm)
- Leather upper design piece is 3.75" x .75" (100mm x 20mm)
- Perfect for ponytails, and half up-dos for thicker hair.
Extra Large is great for long, thick and curly hair
- The clip: 4" (100mm).
- Leather upper design piece is 4.75" x .75" (120mm x 20mm)
- Hard-to-find size, perfect for thick or curly hair, or for twisted updos for longer hair.
Functional beauty, quality craftsmanship
Or should I say, crafts-woman-ship? ;) I wear my own barrettes almost every day, and can also attest to their practical, functional use and durability. The clips themselves are large, high quality, sturdy French-style metal barrette clips with tension bar. The leather is very securely attached to the clip with metal rivets that will be nearly impossible to remove.
Please note that you will not be receiving the exact item seen in the photographs, but one that is extremely similar. My products are made by hand using natural materials, so there is some variation from piece to piece, but don't worry, all barrettes I ship are very similar to and, of course, just as beautiful as the ones you are looking at!
