PLEASE read the ENTIRE description to decide if these are right for you!
Classic bobby pins are formed and hammered from 16 gauge sterling silver wire. The pins measure just over 5 cm or 2 inches, and are made one at a time by me! Simple and elegant. My bobby pins are made to order, and sold as a pair.
Please note: Sterling silver doesn't have the "springiness" of standard steel bobby pins. These bobbies are primarily decorative, and shouldn't be expected to keep masses of hair in place. I recommend you use them with steel pins.
Also: These bobby pins are made from sterling silver wire. According to my supplier, the wire is .925 pure silver, alloyed with copper. There are no ferrous (iron) metals in the wire.
I have sold these to several folks who work with MRI machines, and have never had complaints about them being magnetic.
