  • This hairpin/comb shows yet another variety of Eva's wonderful examples. I actually wear this piece quite often in a non-traditional style:2506029328?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024

  • Very nice, I love it, of course!   As I just wrote, it caught my eye immediately, that your hairpin's "neck" has this decoration at the sides like a triangle Have not really noticed this before! It adds character and Beauty!  I just see, you added the photo how you wear it. It is strange, at that time (when I saw the photo below some time ago); I had not noticed the Little "triangles" at the neck. They are so sweet, have never seen  These (or I forgot!)   Very Special !
