Barrettes, also known as hair clips or clasps, have their roots in ancient civilizations. In ancient Greece and Rome, women used hairpins and combs to secure their hairstyles. The modern barrette, however, is believed to have originated in Europe during the 18th century. Initially, barrettes were simple metal clips used to hold back stray hairs or secure a bun. Over time, they evolved to incorporate decorative elements, such as enamel, gemstones, and intricate designs.
Barrettes and hair clips come in a variety of styles, each suited to specific hair types, lengths, and styles.
Pin-back barrettes: These classic barrettes feature a pin or clasp on the back, securing them to the hair.
Slide-back barrettes: These barrettes have a sliding mechanism that allows them to be easily removed and repositioned.
Snap-back barrettes: These barrettes feature a snap or toggle closure, providing a secure fit.
Hair slides: These are long, thin barrettes designed to slide through hair sections, often used for up-dos and ponytails.
Bobby pins: Small, hairpin-like barrettes used to secure stray hairs or add volume to hairstyles.
Barrettes and hair clips serve multiple purposes:
Hair decoration: They add a decorative touch to hairstyles, whether used as a statement piece or to complement a overall look.
Hair management: They help keep stray hairs in place, securing styles such as buns, ponytails, and up-dos.
Hair volume: They can be used to add volume or texture to hairstyles, particularly for those with fine or limp hair.
Oxidised silver is a striking finish that gives jewellery an antique-inspired look. This finish is achieved through chemical treatments that darken the surface of silver, creating a patina that highlights intricate details in the design. The result is a dramatic contrast between light and dark areas, giving the piece depth and character.
Perfect for gothic, bohemian, or vintage-style jewellery, oxidised silver adds an edgy yet elegant touch to your accessories. It pairs beautifully with gemstones like turquoise, onyx, or garnet and works well with both casual outfits and formal attire. If you love jewellery with personality and history, oxidised silver is an excellent choice.
