£30.00

A faux tortoiseshell hair clip with diamante sparkles.

This originates in the late Edwardian era into the early 1920’s.

Tortoiseshell was incredibly popular in the 19th century in jewellery, cigarette cases and hair ornaments but as the tortoise population became smaller and plastic production more widespread it was easy to be fashionable and stylish without the cruelty or the price tag.
