Item : This vintage sterling silver hair barrette has been nicely shaped and handstamped with a 4 petal design. The barrette measures 4 1/2" long and 1/2" wide and weighs just over 14 grams. It has a simple handcrafted silver clip at the back. The barrette is marked La Azteca, Silver, Mexico. This barrette is in great vintage condition and ready to be worn.
