    Antique hair pin, around 1880,
    As it was badly damaged, got it for cheap :-)

    Sterling part is 2.18" by 1.3/4" or 5.5cm by 4.5cm.

    Total length is 5.5" or 14cm.

    Teeth are celluloid, not blonde turtle shell.

    Kyratisation as usual for plique à jour, UV curing resin and permanent marker :-D

      Great job as usual. Such a beautiful piece....imagine your hair up with this comb and it catching the light as you promenade.

      Karen, thank you, it is a rather rare piece, beginning of plique à jour enamel revival :-)

      Nevada Blade's comment reminded me of when my daughter was a baby and another mother looked at her and nearly cried as my baby had an abundant head of black curls and her baby was nearly bald with just a strand of fine white blond hair sprouting from the middle of her head -- she had taped a bow to the baby's head, bless her heart. A mother's love. :) Now, kyratango, I have very long black hair, and I can tell you, a pretty pick like that makes me wish I still liked to wear my hair up instead of hanging down my back in a braid like a dead raccoon, lol! As always, your work is incredible, this hair pick was very lucky to fall into your talented hands. :)
    11. kyratango kyratango, 8 years ago
      Ha Katherine, love your baby story, and the bow on 3 hairs :-D
      No! You certainly not wear a dead raccoon like braid! A glorious Pocahontas braid, yessss!
      :-)

      Super lovely. Where do you find these things, Kyra? My daughter was one of those blonde baldies-- for years. Now? Glorious mane.
    13. kyratango kyratango, 8 years ago
      Super lovely comment, Emme :-)
      Congrats for your daughter's mane!

      My finds are now from Ebay, but I haunted Paris flea markets and antique fairs for 30 years before moving in the countryside!
