This is a gorgeous barrette. Pattern/Design: Like a flower or butterfly? It's a preserved item, almost unused. There are no noticeable stains or scratches. There are some minor, inconspicuous scratches. I think it would be great for everyday use. It would also be a lovely accent for up-dos, evening hairstyles, etc. I've taken photos with a measuring tape to show the size, so please take a look. There are no detached glass pieces. Although there is no original box, I will pack it carefully and ship it quickly.
