Brilliant shimmery cobalt blue and black barrette earring gift set - what a perfect idea that is both unique and practical! The rustic texture was created from vintage lace, finished with an all-natural black leather dye, and a light sheen coat of eye-catching metallic blue, for a unique leather accessory set.
The design pieces are made from upcycled leather, hand embossed, finished and assembled. The eye-catching cobalt blue color stands out, and yet works a variety of outfits, making it a go-to piece for practical everyday use.
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?

- 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.
