Rainbow Dichroic Barrette

Handmade from scratch (by me) in my rural Ohio glass and etc. studio, this stunner of a dichroic glass barrette features a riot of diagonal rainbow stripes. The photos are of the exact item for sale. This barrette measures roughly 3  7/8” long (9.85 cm) by 3/4” wide (1.9 cm), and every barrette ships out from my glass studio in a gift box. Dichroic glass was originally invented by NASA, but it found its home with glass artists. Dichroic - which means two color in Greek - is a perfect name for this glass, as it has two (or more) colors that show up depending on the light. Photographing it can be a pain… but if you like it online it won't disappoint in person. I use only French made clips, which often stay well even in fine hair. The barrette is glass, so if rugby or other extreme sports are your thing, maybe choose a different accessory that day.  The clip is made of metal, so try not to wear it in the shower or the like, which can encourage rust growth.  © 2025 M.
