Description

A lovely vintage mother of pearl hair barrette featuring a gently carved natural shell front with attractive iridescent lustre.

The barrette measures approximately 7cm in length and is fitted with a simple vintage base metal wire clasp to the reverse. The natural shell displays attractive variations in colour and nacre, giving each piece a unique appearance.

Likely dating from the 1950s–1960s, this is a lightweight decorative hair accessory that would suit collectors of vintage costume accessories or anyone looking for an elegant mid-century hair ornament.
