The Story & Ethical Sourcing
These hair barrettes elevate raw anatomical elements into functional, everyday hair adornments. Offered in two distinct osteological options, each piece carries an authentic, ethically sourced story:
Young Goat Femur Option: Sourced from Inverness Farms in Venice, Florida. This delicate 3-inch bone came from a very young specimen; its unfused growth plates (epiphyses) naturally detached, leaving a smooth, slender shaft that highlights the soft beauty of juvenile bone structure.
Raccoon Metacarpal Option: Sourced from a local raccoon ethically salvaged following a fatal vehicle collision on the roadway. Preserved with care, this 2-inch paw bone serves as a subtle, grounding nod to wildlife preservation and natural history.
Composition & Craftsmanship
Bone Focal Choices:
Option A: 3" Juvenile Goat Femur.
Option B: 2" Raccoon Metacarpal.
Hardware: 2¼-inch gold-tone alligator-style hair barrette clip with non-slip teeth.
Wirework: Hand-wrapped and secured with gold-tone wire accents.
Origin: Designed and handcrafted by Michele Moore in North Port, Florida.
Style & Wearability
Designed to secure sectioned hair, bangs, or up-dos with a unique edge, these 2¼-inch barrettes combine sleek, polished gold-tone metal with raw, organic bone textures. Whether worn individually or stacked together, they make a memorable statement for lovers of dark academia, oddities, and organic fashion.
