Description
This large copper barrette (3.5" long by 5/8" wide) has a top-quality stainless steel French barrette mechanism, which will never lose its holding power.
It is made with hand-cut and -rolled copper and features a tiny sterling silver crab. The top is attached with copper staples (rather than glued) to the barrette mechanism, so it won't ever come apart through regular use.
The color on the copper has been applied through careful application of heat. As with any patinated product, avoid exposing it to chemicals (hair care products, lotions, etc), chlorine, and salt. The colors may change and morph over time. This is just the nature of the metal. If you wish it to stay the same color over time, apply a nail polish or gel polish to the surface.
