Antique Bira-bira Kanzashi Japanese Hair Ornament (item #89752)

This kind of Kanzashi is called Gin (silver in Japanese) Kanzashi. The body is usually made out the stronger mixed metal as this one. The darkened metal flowers are tarnished silver, I believe. The bira bira Kanzashi started to become fashionable in late 18th century, Edo Period and this set is from late Meiji to Taisho period, early 1900s. The chains are very light weight so you can wear as a set if you like. It is in excellent condition except two chains are missing from one - not noticeable because the plates are overlapping. This is one of the prettiest set that we had seen. It looks better than the photos. Aprx. length is 7 1/4 inches.

Vintage Pair Japanese Kanzashi-bira Bira Faux Ivory Hair Ornaments Pins With Dangles

This is my interpretation of a Japanese hair stick called kanzashi. I used a silk flower orchid, sparkly AB crystals, and metal strips to make a very pretty hair stick. Each one is handmade so there may be slight variations to the flower.
