Peacock Feather Butterfly Hair Clip

A pair of butterflies alights in gold — twin wings of natural peacock feather shimmering in emerald, teal and warm amber on this vintage style hair clip. Inspired by dian cui (tian-tsui), the centuries-old Chinese art of feather inlay, and the flowing lines of Art Nouveau, this double butterfly barrette brings a touch of fairy elegance to slow mornings, garden parties, or an evening that deserves something rare.

In Chinese tradition, a pair of butterflies stands for joy, transformation and enduring love — making this a meaningful gift for her: a mother, a daughter, a bride, a best friend, or simply yourself.

THE CRAFT
Each butterfly is shaped from gilded copper, then hand-inlaid with natural peacock feathers following the dian cui tradition — an imperial Chinese technique once reserved for court jewelry. No dyes, no paint: every color you see is the feather's own iridescence. As light moves across the wings, they shift from deep emerald green to teal and amber gold, so the clip never looks quite the same twice.

Slides smoothly into fine or thick hair — wear it as a barrette, a hair slide, or a vintage accent over a low bun or braid.
