Vintage Pearlized finish hair chignon barrette

Click to enlarge each image.

This is a vintage pearlized barrette or chignon decoration, with 2mm round AB rhinestones on the spokes. I do not know if it is mother-of-pearl, or even if it is celluloid, which is kind of what it looks like. The shape is irregular, not an entirely symmetrical curve, and the clip part consists of two separate pins that have to manually inserted into the hook. This is old and in vintage condition, so I do not know if at one point the two pins were connected. It is , nonetheless, a beautiful piece. Overall in good but used vintage condition, flaws as noted.
