20,00 USD

A NOTE ON THE KNOT: The triquetra knot, likewise called the Trinity knot, has actually been showcased for centuries in everything from the Book of Kells to early Scandanavian coins. It has actually likewise been made use of symbolically in both the Christian and Pagan religions. Recognized by the majority of people, it keeps to reveal up on things today consisting of from mementos from Ireland, and the cover of a Led Zeppelin album.

This barrette is made from a minty green glass that has a triquetra knot engraved into the finish, and the pictures are of the specific product for sale. The Celtic knot is hand drawn, then recreated on etch-able film, which is then put on the barrette and etched. My barrettes typically determine between 3 1/2 & quot; and 3 3/4 & quot; (9 – 10 cm long) and roughly 1 & quot; & quot; wide( 2.5 cm )large, and the real clip portion determines about 2 3/4 & quot; (70mm) long.

Even if you have extremely fine hair, the French-made clasp on this barrette must hold – my own is very great and slippery, and I wear among my own glass barrettes in it nearly every day. I suggest a minimum of shoulder length hair is your hair is fine and slippery. Individuals with thick hair, this barrette ought to fit you also.

I’ve had a lot of people look askance at glass barrettes, however truly, unless you’re in the practice of playing rugby on concrete or appealing in other severe sports and activities, my barrettes hold up pretty well. I have actually been dropping mine on the sink for several years, and, although I absolutely DO NOT suggest doing this, I inadvertently carried one around in my ginormous purse for about 2 months before I understood it remained in there. I do not recommend wearing them in the swimming pool or shower, as it makes the clips rust.

Likewise – the glass I used to make this barrette is translucent, so the barrette will appear lighter on a blonde haired person as opposed to a black haired individual.
