I handsculpt this unique barrette from extremely rare and beautiful Serpentwood (Piratinera guianensis). I then add a gorgeous genuine amber cabochon in a wonderful hand-made sterling silver setting with intricate detailing. The amber haswonderful inclusions and is stunning when the light passes through it.

Size: Medium approx. 3" size of clip: 70mm / 2 3/4" Good barrette to pull back a section of normal thickness hair or all of fine hair.

Also called Letterwood and Nakedwood, The appearance of serpentwood is similar to that of snakeskin, red-brown with black speckles and stripes. It's sometimes also spotty like leopard spots, or speckled with interesting peculiar markings. It's one of the rarest and most expensive woods in the world!

We've been making wood barrettes for over 20 years. Our wooden barrettes are all made from SOLID wood.  **Never a thin layer of veneer over a cheaper base wood**
They are screwed not glued to the made in France clips for a strong, durable, mess free joint.

Barrette clips vary quite a bit in quality. I use only the highest quality French Barrette Clips on all my barrettes. They have proven themselves over time to be the best available.
