This
luxurious silver barrette design has a base barrette finding that is imported from France
and lined with a thin chocolate brown strip of velvet. The finished design is a stunning hand-crafted, hand-set and hand-finished
assemblage. This wearable hair art is masterfully designed by Linda Levinson who has an extensive background in fine
jewelry and a keen love for antiques which combine here for an ornate and well-balanced design. Each piece is hand crafted
using a combination of Swarovski crystals and semi-precious and/or vintage inspired stones. Items are first hand cast
in pewter and then plated in antiqued silver or gold finish.
This
barrette is a vintage inspired design that is completely encrusted with an array of smooth and polished smokey black
diamond Swarovski crystals. The design is in the form of three small snakes each making a figure eight
pattern. The top part of the barretter measures approximately 2 3/4" in length and 5/8" wide, except at the center were
it is approx. 1 1/8". The automatic style barrette finding is approximately 2 ¼” in length and may hold up to approximately
2 1/2" of hair depending upon texture. Linda Levinson has transported her years in the fine jewelry trade to her exquisite
hair accessory designs as demonstrated by this gorgeous Swarovski Crystal snake barrette.
