Kells Hair Barrette

Wear your Irish heritage in your hair!  Kells Hair Barrette is made by Mullingar Pewter.  The design is based on the Book of Kells in Trinity College. Great gift for the Irish girl in your life.

This ancient craft of pewter making was revived in Ireland by Mullingar Pewter in 1974. Most of the pieces are still made in the traditional way by specially trained men and women in the old casting methods. These skills take years to acquire. About the only thing which has changed in pewter manufacturing is the composition of the materials. Today, the raw materials consist of 95% tin with the balance made up of copper and antimony. The products are guaranteed lead-free and quite safe to use for all kinds of food and drink.

Approximately 4" in length.
