Red Striped Dichroic Barrette

Handmade from scratch (by me) in my rural Ohio glass and etc. studio, this pretty red dichroic glass barrette features fun white stripes and sprinkles, and the photos are of the exact item for sale. 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. This one shifts from a cinnamon red to a fiery orange (see the second photo!) and if you like it online it won't disappoint in person. Normally my barrettes stay well in hair that is both fine and slippery, because the barrette back is made in France, and it has been engineered to not slip out of hair easily. Because this particular barrette is a little thicker and heavier than my standard style of barrettes, I would suggest if you have really fine hair that you may want to plan on wearing it in an updo. They stay really well in my hair (which is super fine)
