Exquisite and very unique this vintage hair comb is heavily beaded with hundreds of tiny glass seed beads which have been intricately hand wired together to form a massive cluster of flowers which shimmer and sparkle in the light. I've sold quite a few hair combs over the years but this is one I've not had before. It looks to be from the 1940's-50's era and is in such excellent condition I believe it was never or rarely used. The layering design of the flowers is incredible. Being such a large cluster with such a mass of beads it is still very elegant and classic, what a gorgeous piece to wear at a wedding or prom. The beads used for the flowers are semi transparent white and the beads used for the leaves are a semi transparent very delicate light yellow green color. When looking further inside the layers of flower clusters I see 3 extremely fine delicate wires with transparent light yellow seed beads on them which depict the stamens in 2 of the flowers. All perfectly intact which is truly amazing as they are so fine. When looking at them with a loupe you will see they are super fine wires which are twisted making the finest of stems, just perfect! This is a very dimensional piece. The flower cluster measures 4~5/8" across x approx. 2~7/16" long x 1~1/2" high. This is the beaded flower portion alone. With the comb it measures 3~1/8" long. I can accurately say this is a work of art which will be a beautiful hair ornament as well as piece to treasure in any jewelry accessory collection.
