Rectangle Hair Slide Appraisal

Rhinestone Rectangle Hair Slide

This item is a decorative hair slide or barrette featuring a polished silver-toned metallic frame in a geometric rectangular shape. The front surface of the rectangle is pavé-set with a single row of brilliant-cut clear rhinestones or crystals, designed to capture and refract light with a high degree of luster as seen in the prismatic reflections. The attachment mechanism is a classic bobby-pin style prong that extends horizontally across the back of the rectangle, which would serve to secure the piece into hair strands. The construction appears modern, likely consistent with late 20th or 21st-century fashion jewelry. The item measures approximately 2 to 3 inches in width. While no specific maker's marks are visible in the provided image, the craftsmanship is clean and symmetrical. The condition appears to be excellent with no visible missing stones or significant tarnishing on the metal components. The rectangle shape offers a minimalist but glamorous aesthetic, typical of contemporary formal hair accessories used for weddings or special events. The piece is displayed on a textured black zip-up storage case, which highlights its metallic shine.
