Thank you Ingrid! Wonderful!!!! One can see it better anyway, even though you say, the photo doesn't justify the work. it is a fantastic Beauty! Gorgeous Details, it is really the most beautiful hairpin I have ever seen (I mean on photos). One can without exageration talk of a real jewel and treasure. Do the ladies of today still wear such or similar (simpler) hairpins? You are right, this one is the star among them all!
