Description

**On reserve pending pymt :)

I would prefer to sell these two pairs together for $99, but if that isn't possible, I will offer them as follows:

$50 shipped (US only) for the blue topaz pair

$65 shipped (US only) for the garnet/citrine pair

These are sterling hairpins with genuine/natural gemstones! Rare to find! These were handmade by an etsy vendor (who I believe only made the two sets that I bought, at least to my knowledge. I bought them about 2 yrs or so ago. They have been gently cleaned but the silver could use a good polishing in a few spots - otherwise they look to be in good condition. I haven't worn them in ages, they've just been resting in the jewelry box - but they're so cute I thought someone might like them. They would look really gorgeous in a wedding updo or special occasion , or just anytime really :)

Gently worn on my part - I really liked to decorate a bun with one or two. The gems are not high quality, but they are natural and very cute, and actual hair jewels - which is so much fun! I have no idea what the level of treatment of the gems is, but I'd assume the garnets are probably untreated while the topaz almost certainly are; and it could go either way with the citrine.

The blues are blue topaz, and the others are garnet and citrine. Most pieces measure about 2.25 inches long, but one of the blues is a bit longer, more like 2.5 inches long.
These are NOT meant to actually hold your hair in place; but rather to perch decoratively in a hairdo. They have worked very well for me :)

Please ask all questions before deciding to buy; I am selling from my collection and strongly prefer not to deal with returns. I answer questions quickly, and will do my best to make sure you have all info before buying. I'm an active PS member and ebay seller under the ID katharath; you can check out my feedback if you like, I've sold for many years on ebay and more recently, over here :)

Thanks for looking!
