French Barrette descriptionThe French barrette mechanism, may look very similar to most barrette mechanisms found in craft and jewelry supply stores, but authentic French mechanisms bare the Hallmark "MADE IN FRANCE". This essential part of the barrette either makes or breaks the barrette quality. Cheaper mechanisms have a tendency to slip, fall apart, or simply break. Often the releases malfunction or stick. This is do to the weak material, and loose construction of the mechanism itself. French barrettes are made of thicker, higher quality material, and the mechanisms are designed to last. When shopping for barrettes, always inspect the mechanism and make sure the hallmark is present. Nickel-free. |
