This gorgeous two-piece hair decoration is entirely hand-fabricated from solid sterling silver, with just a touch of copper forming the cat tail heads.

Both pieces are slightly bent so the clasp lays flat against the head and is comfortable even when leaning back against a head-rest. They are designed to be placed with the concave faces together, then the stick is twisted 180 degrees to tighten the clasp and fasten the decoration securely in the hair. The frame is hammered, work-hardening the silver so the fit will remain snug over time. The pin has been rolled through a mill to achieve the same result.

This piece is rugged enough for daily wear and beautiful enough for a night on the town! This size is pretty versatile, and suitable for most hair textures and types (even if you have the kind of straight, silky hair that this style of clip usually slips out of!). If your hair is especially thin you may want to use this in conjunction with an additional hair tie. If your hair is super thick it may tie back only part of your hair.

The decorative portion of the clip measures approximately 8.5 cm long and 5.5 cm wide. Silver is 0.925 sterling. Metal can be kept polished bright or left to develop a natural patina over time. As always, this style of hair pin also works beautifully as a cloak/shawl/hat pin! As with all handmade items, actual product may vary slightly from the photos.
