This vintage GWT barrette brings together two techniques: hand-loomed glass seed beadwork and hand-stamped sterling silver. Tiny cylindrical beads form crisp diamonds and sunbursts in red, orange, yellow, white, and black against turquoise blue. Stamped fans and crescents frame the panel on the gently curved silver face.
Condition: Excellent pre-owned condition.
The smooth-finished French clip holds hair securely and is gentle on strands.
