Featured Hair clasp, age please.

I got this vintage butterfly hair clasp from France. The frame is very basic, and I have never seen the way the pin is fastened before.
The butterflies and flowers look like plique-à-jour enamel, except they are made with synthetic material instead of vitreous enamel.

Total width: 11 cm / 4.33"

Does anyone have any idea of the age, or when this type of fastening was used?

Thank you for looking.

 

I wish I knew, but I can only say that that is a beautiful hair clip!

Photos are exceptional......(just like you)

 

I'd call that a bun clasp or clip. It's reminiscent of stuff we wore in the seventies. I suspect it's crafted.

 

Thanks 70s makes sense. I wore my hair loose in the 70s, so I never looked at clasps.

 

It's a lovely hair piece, AJ, never seen that sort of clasp before either.

 

Thank you.

 

Oh my, that is so pretty. I love hair jewelry. I do have one set of hearts with the attached sliding closure but they are plastic. Oh, and my favorite color is purple so I do love them!

 

Thanks ulil.

 

Lovely hair piece with my favorite color.
I couldn't wear those back in the day, my hair was so thick and long that a clip was too uncomfortable to wear.

 

I call these hair buckles. Agree they began to appear in the 70s & that this one is artisan made. Bought some at a crafts show as recently as the late 2010s.

 

Wow, this is so pretty!
Now I NEED a vintage hair buckle!

 

Thanks, Bronwen, 70s it is.

The Antiquers bug strikes again. I have a lot of hair jewellery, but most of it is antique. I bought this because it was so pretty, cheap too.
