Haircombs like this delightful pair were all the rage in the Edwardian period and into the 1920s when hair accessories were used to hold the longer hair styles of the era in place. Here we have two diamante set combs in Celluloid but with the look of natural Tortoiseshell or Horn. Each hair comb has 30 individual set diamante crystal jewels on the top and they are super sparkly. The hair combs measure 1.75 inches across the top edge tapering down to a fraction over an inch at the bottom. The length or the prongs or tines is approximiately 4.5 inches including the decorative diamante set tops. The combs are gently curved to make them easy to use and are in Excellent condition. The colours in the Celluloid material range from honey blondes to dark browns and the pattern has the natural striations you would expect in real tortoiseshell or horn hair ornaments. The price given is for the pair and they would be perfect hair ornaments for a bride or for a special party look. Add them to your Vintage Costume Jewellery collection!
