These pins should not be used on fine hair to *fix* the hair in place, rather they are placed *in* your hair as decorative accents.

With my bobbies you can expect a small amount of "squeeze out" on the adhesive where the piece is attached to the pad on the backs. Nice strong grip! They are made using vintage costume jewelry and you should expect very good to fine condition on the vintage components. Major flaws will be noted.

Vintage Beaded Creamy Necklace 2 Strand

Wed, 02 Dec 2009 03:39:23 -0500

$20.00
Another fun piece that is totally chic and ready for dressing up. An elegant accessory, fun for night or day.

Creamy amber peach colored beads, faux sugar, matte beads, crackle beads and aurora borealis crystals. All beads are plastic except for the crystals. As you can see the metal ends have toned a good deal, I think it's part of the charm. Good condition, there is some light wear to the coating on random beads and one bead has a teensy little black spec. There is a little slack in the string.

Measures (on the short strand) up to 17+ inches, add about an inch in the drop for the long strand. Can be worn from approx. 15 inches to about 17 inches. The largest bead is approx. 5/8 inches. There is a little slack in the strings.

Very nice quality vintage beads.

Flapper Couture Magenta Feather Fascinator

Tue, 01 Dec 2009 01:12:48 -0500

$32.00
A fun piece with a little attitude. Beautiful color, I can't decide if it's magenta, fuschia or purple. It's a little of all.

The French barrette measures 2.25 inches long and is gold-tone. It can't hold a large pony tail or thick amount of hair. These barrettes are to be added to a finished hairstyle, or they can fix a small amount of hair for a partial up-sweep.

The feathers spray out to approx. 5 inches wide and approx. 3.75 inches high. There is a felt pad on the back that offers a *little* room to add some tulle or netting if you like, it's about 1 inch long, and then of course there are the holes on the ends of the barrette for additional sewing.

I have more feathers in this color and can make similar items (with different earrings) if you have a wedding party.

Great vintage condition on the focal, very sparkly, some slight scratching on the crystals and plastic beads and a teensy bit of turning on the rhinestone.

*********

Please Note: My hair clips/barrettes are a bit heavy for *very fine* hair. These clips/barrettes should not be used on fine hair to *fix* the hair in place, rather they are placed *in* your hair as a decorative accents after it is set.

They should be fine to fix thicker or curly hair.

With my clips/barrettes you can expect a small amount of "squeeze out" on the adhesive where the piece is attached to the pad on the backs. Nice strong grip! They are made using vintage costume jewelry and you should expect very good to fine condition on the vintage components. Major flaws will be noted.

$125.00
What a stunning vintage shawl! Made with sheer netting and intricate hand applique of white glass beads, faux pearl beads and sequins, in a gorgeous floral pattern.

Vintage Bride Shooting Star Rhinestone Hair Comb

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 19:24:23 -0500

$56.00
An elegant clear vintage rhinestone brooch and earring were used to create this beautiful hairpiece. Absolutely perfect for a bride, formal or pageant attire.

Recycled- The brooch was missing a star point and the earring had no mate. I added random stones in the circle area to make it more clustered and to intensify the sparkle. Beautiful vintage condition, the stones are super vibrant and very animated. One stone has a little spot.

Measures approx. 2.5 inches across on the focal, by 2 6/8 inches high at the peak with the teeth. The comb is silver-tone.

This piece is gorgeous.

Gorgeous OLD Red Turquoise Rhinestone Hairpin

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 01:25:06 -0500

$40.00
This is an incredible piece made using a broken vintage brooch with ruby and turquoise colored rhinestones. It had no center so I used an earring piece that matched quite well and created this stunning OOAK piece.

Focal measures approx. 1 3/8 inches round. The hairpin is 3 inches long and gold plated, overall length is 3.25 inches.

The piece is a bit skewed on the floral round edge, I believe it is part of the original design. Some of the plating is worn on the edges as well, it's an OLD piece so it's expected. I replaced one of the red stones, and one of the turquoise stones has a small chip.

It's really quite lovely and very unique.

Vintage Big Rhinestone Chain Necklace Bride Formal

This piece is really old and the stones tell the story of their age. There is graying on foil backs, clouding and spotting on some stones. To me that is the charm. I love how these pieces live through time and are still beautiful and extremely desirable.

Large rhinestones, approx. 6 mm., round and square.

I had to repair this piece, and the stone is not a match. I had to replace a square stone with a round stone, at the back, by the clap, and, virtually invisible to anyone who does not know. It's all I had, but hey, it matched and it works. See the last picture for review.

Even so, it's FABULOUS!

Measures approx. 15.5 inches and is not adjustable.

These pins should not be used on fine hair to *fix* the hair in place, rather they are placed *in* your hair as decorative accents.

With my bobbies you can expect a small amount of "squeeze out" on the adhesive where the piece is attached to the pad on the backs. Nice strong grip! They are made using vintage costume jewelry and you should expect very good to fine condition on the vintage components. Major flaws will be noted.

This piece is so gorgeous! Very sparkly and in beautiful vintage condition.

Perfect for bridal, pageant and ballroom. An elegant finishing touch for that special ensemble.

Measures up to a snug 15 inches and sits like a bib at the base of the neck (on me at least.) The center display drops approx. 2 inches.

Please note: The yellow in the stones is a reflection of my clothing while taking photos outside. The stones are clear and the setting is silver-tone.

There are *some* signs of age on a few stones, with one or two that I would describe as *just* starting to turn gray on the back on the chain. If you look at the close view of the drop, you may see some dark areas in the larger marquis stones.

In my view, this is one of the nicest pieces I've had in my little shop. I think it is just lovely.
