I designed this haircomb around a fabulous 1950's vintage wedding dress for a Co. Cork bride, and I loved making it! It is completely handmade and I used swarovski crystals, glass pearls and glass seed beads to make it.
Very pretty pearl and lily hair comb.
Made using freshwater pearls, swarovski crystals, swarovski pearls and little lily shaped flower beads.
Ideal for brides, bridesmaids, special occasionwear, proms.

Two tortoiseshell hair combs dating from the mid to late 19th Century.
Hair combs of this style grew in popularity throughout the Victorian period. Their mass appeal was widened by the introduction of celluloid, which allowed for the imitation of more expensive tortoiseshell designs.
Each hair comb consists of a wide, curved upper band, with curved teeth beneath.

These three 19th century hair combs were the must-have fashion accessory for early Victorian Britain.
They have been based upon Spanish, "Mantilla" style hair combs, which grew in popularity in Britain throughout the 1800s. Originally manufactured in expensive tortoiseshell, they were seen as a relatively high class object.
However, the invention of the plastic "Celluloid" allowed cheaper production of the combs, allowing them to be become available to a mass market in the later 19th century.
These combs have been made from celluloid, and range in design from a simple band mounted upon a set of prongs, to a much more elaborate crown design.

This large tortoiseshell hair comb was produced in Britain in the 19th century.
Hair combs of this style developed in popularity throughout the early 1800s and into the early Victorian period.
Based upon traditional Spanish "Mantilla" combs, these large ornate hairpieces became the must-have hair accessory of the early to mid 19th century.
This particular hair comb is of a crown design, featuring eight triangular points. The comb's band is engraved with nine further triangles, each shaded with line engravings. The headpiece is mounted on a comb formed of 10 curved prongs.
