Thank you for taking the time to view my unique handmade jewelry. This barrette will make a great addition for casual or ornamented wear. The size of the barrette is approximately: 60 mm (2.36") across the straight base and 30 mm (1.18") from the base to the top of the arch. The barrette in the photo is the actual barrette you will receive. This barrette has been carefully hand crafted by myself, using the millefiori ancient technique to a very high standard. I covered the metal base with slices of Polymer Clay canes whice i have made. No paints or dyes were used. Backed it and than, It was sanded and buffed to give a high shine. Then, coated with varnish for shine and protection. The colors will never wear off. THANK YOU FOR LOOKING:)
