I've been making barrettes for over 20 years. My barrettes are all made from SOLID wood.
**Never a thin layer of veneer over a cheaper base wood**
They are screwed not glued to the made in France clips for a strong, durable, mess free joint.

I individually handcraft all my hair barrettes using only premium sustainable sourced materials - the highest quality made in France hair clips (much stronger and more durable than the cheaper flimsy counterparts) and the finest rare exotic and figured domestic hardwoods in the world! With a wide range of available sizes, there are wooden hair clips and wood barrettes here to fit the needs of all hair types. For children's hair or fine hair, for holding back only section of your hair, or for lots and lots of extra-thick hair, there's sure to be a barrette and hair clip style here for everyone!

Walnut Burl - Claro Walnut is an American exotic tree, native to the upper Sacramento River basin. Known for its deep rich colors and intense figure and coveted by gun stock manufactures and master craftsman. Produced by grafting American and English Walnut. Swirly grain with blistered effect. Difficult to find and very high priced.

Barrette clips vary quite a bit in quality. I use only the highest quality French Barrette Clips on all my barrettes. They have proven themselves over time to be the best available.
