These rare antique Art Nouveau pewter barrettes date back to circa 1900 and are so charming. I was lucky to find them as a collection of new old stock, so they are still completely original and were never worn or used. The design features a lovely woman with long hair flowing down and around her face, centered between two openwork side panels tipped with fleur de lys. It can have a multitude of uses beyond barrettes too depending on how creative you want to get ~ I've used them as cravat pins by just clipping them over a tie or cravat at the top of the neck, or you can clip them over a strap on a top or dress, slide over a hat band, etc... You could also get creative and re-purpose them into other jewelry.
Each barrette measures approx. 2 1/4" long and opens in the back as well as having a tiny "comb" portion on the inside of the barrette to help keep it in place.
