Handmade in my rural Ohio glass etc. studio, this stunner of a barrette is made from opaque cobalt blue glass, and it features a Celtic triquetra knot etched into the surface of it. This particular barrette measures roughly 3 3/4" (10 cm long) and 1 1/4" (3.5 cm) wide, and since I make multiples of these, while I cannot promise you will get the exact one from the photo, I can promise it will be similar enough to pass muster.
The triquetra knot, as it is known, has a variety of meanings as it predates Christianity, but is generally used to depict a triadic deity.
All of my barrettes shipped within the US come to you in a small gift box.
Even if you have extremely fine hair, the French-made clasps I use on these barrettes should hold - my own hair is very fine and slippery, and I wear one of my own barrettes with the same style clasp nearly every day. I recommend at least shoulder length hair if your hair is fine and/or straight.
I do not recommend wearing my barrettes in a pool or shower. I also do not recommend playing rugby on concrete or any other extreme contact sport while wearing my barrettes. :)
