<p>A substantial vintage hair clip built from Mexican silver tone metal, stamped Hecho en Mexico and marked Salsa Designs, a maker known for exactly this kind of crushed stone inlay work. Three fish swim across the textured, hand punched surface, one in crushed turquoise, one in a warm crushed red stone, and one in crushed malachite, each outlined and set against a dotted silver ground that gives the whole piece real dimension.</p>
<p>At 4 inches long and 56 grams this is not a delicate accessory, it has real presence and holds a substantial section of hair securely. The crushed inlay technique was a signature of Mexican silver work through the 1980s, and this piece shows it off with three colors instead of the usual one or two.</p>
<p>Great condition. The clip mechanism opens and closes securely and the inlay shows no losses or chips.</p>
