Thank you for your interest in my item. Before you purchase, please take a moment to read my profile. This is a metal barrette clip shaped like a cherry blossom branch. It's about 11cm long, so depending on your hair length, you might be able to put your hair up completely. As a result of my profession, I often put my hair up with barrette clips, and I bought this one because I was drawn to the design. However, I realized that I can't gather my hair unless the clip is 12cm or longer, so I'm putting it up for sale. The cherry blossom part is made of resin. There are no noticeable scratches, but please understand that this item has been stored at home. I am also selling many other large barrette clips.
