This is a very elegant barrette with pearls. Perfect for parties, weddings, entrance ceremonies, graduation ceremonies, and other formal events. It's about 12cm in size. I purchased it at an accessory store, but I rarely wore it and kept it stored at home. The gold plating is slightly tarnished. I've included a picture at the end, showing a small chip on the edge. It's not very noticeable at a glance. Please understand that this is a used item, and only purchase if you are comfortable with this.
