| I handcraft this barrette from mahogany wood. I then add a an intricately detailed sterling silver Celtic knot weave to the front.
The Celtic knot is one of the best known motifs in Celtic jewelry and art. One of the remarkable things about Celtic knotwork is the way in which its lines typically have neither a beginning nor an end. The delicate twists and turns are found in ancient stone art and tattoos, in illuminated manuscripts in fact, just about anywhere the Celtic people have traveled. Similar designs exist in Norse culture, and as far as China.
This barrette is 3 1/2" long with a 70mm or 2 3/4" long clip. (a size - Medium).Our medium barrettes work well to pull back a section of normal thickness hair or all of fine hair. Other sizes available by request
