Vintage Pre-1980s Hand-Carved Mother of Pearl Bird Hair Pin Slide

Add a genuine piece of mid-century romance to your styling collection with this exquisite vintage hair pin. Hand-carved from natural mother-of-pearl (MOP), this delicate piece depicts a dove or swallow captured beautifully in mid-flight. The natural nacre features a gorgeous, luminous iridescence that catches and shifts light with a subtle rainbow glow, making it a stunning accent piece against dark or light hair.  The carved shell bird is securely mounted onto a sleek, tapered gold-toned hair slide backing designed to hold side sections or accent an updo. Carefully preserved within a single family since well before the 1980s, this piece carries a true vintage lineage. Because each historic piece was incised by hand, the feather details and etching lines are completely unique—making this a one-of-a-kind heirloom treasure.  Excellent Vintage Condition: The mother-of-pearl shell remains pristine with excellent natural luster and absolutely no cracks, chips, or fractures.
