I hand sculpt this unique barrette from stunning mahogany wood. I then add a stunning genuine amber cabochon in a simple elegant hand-made sterling silver setting. The amber has wonderful inclusions and is stunning when the light passes through it.
Size: Large approx. 3 3/4" size of clip: 80mm / 3 1/4" The most commonly used barrette size. Will work well for most hair types.
Mahogany (ribbon-sliced) (Swietenia spp.) from Honduras - Mahogany has been used in fine furniture making and boat building for centuries and is famous for it's rich red color, also called "Genuine Mahogany".
