Product Insights
Simons' Diamond Metallic Barrettes Set Of 2 ($6, out of stock) offers salon-grade hold for precise sectioning with a durable metal hinge and pinch-and-slide closure that outlasts plastic, yet the bare-metal finish tarnishes when exposed to moisture, requiring dry storage; the two identical 2.75-inch openwork barrettes are lightweight for half-up styles without pulling and provide symmetrical styling, making them a value option compared to pricier alternatives, but their moisture sensitivity is the key tradeoff.
Verified claims
- Hold precision
- These metal barrettes provide salon-grade hold for precise sectioning; reviewers with fine hair say they hold really well without slipping out.
- Tarnishing
- The bare-metal finish tarnishes when exposed to moisture; store these barrettes dry.
- Build quality
- Metal barrettes with a durable hinge that outlasts plastic and a springless closure.
- Closure mechanism
- Pinch-and-slide closure (not spring-loaded) uses a durable metal hinge that outlasts plastic.
- Value
- At $6/2-pack, per-unit cost is lower than Simons’ $9/2-pack or $15 single clip.
- Moisture sensitivity
- Keep these barrettes dry and avoid using them in wet hair to prevent tarnishing and preserve the metal's shine.
- Lightweight
- Each 2.75-inch openwork double-diamond wireframe barrette, with its central spine and rounded pin ends, is lightweight and holds half-up styles without pulling.
- Symmetrical pair
- Two identical 2.75-inch openwork double-diamond barrettes enable symmetrical, lightweight styling for half-up styles or matched sections.
- Durability
- Metal pinch-and-slide clasp outlasts plastic but requires keeping dry to prevent tarnish.
- Fit
- Each 2.75-inch (7 cm) openwork double-diamond barrette is sized for half-up styles on most hair.
- Ease of opening
- Several reviewers report that these barrettes are difficult to open and remove without catching or breaking hair, despite their secure hold.
- Finish
- The metal has a polished, high-shine finish rather than a satin or brushed look.
- Embellishment
- The barrettes have no rhinestones, crystals, or pearls; the only detail is the openwork metal itself, and the 'diamond' name refers to the diamond-shaped cutouts rather than set stones.

All-day hold for fine hair
These barrettes work for everyday wear when you want to pin back fine hair, with one reviewer reporting the grip stays secure without slipping through a full day. Reviews also note the stiff clip can be hard to open and close and may snag or break hair, so they may suit fine hair better than thicker strands.[2]
A sparkly accent for special-occasion hairstyles
These metallic barrettes suit special events where the look matters most — reviewers praise their cute metallic sparkle. Per an analysis of customer reviews, they can add a stylish touch to a hairstyle when they can be left in place, though functionality is a noted trade-off.[2]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Diamond Metallic Barrettes Set Of 2: Choose these if you have fine hair and want an all-day decorative accent: reviewers report the metal clips grip securely without slipping on fine hair, and the diamond-cut metallic sparkle is widely praised as cute and stylish. Each barrette is an openwork double-diamond metal design about 2.75 inches (7 cm) long, sold as a set of 2. Be aware the stiff hinge is hard to open and close and can snag or break hair, so reviewers suggest they work best left in place and on hair less prone to damage.[1,2] | Varied Metallic Barrettes Set Of 6: Choose this if you want a single one-size set covering several styling needs: it includes six metal clips in three styles — two narrow straight bar clips, two slim open-loop hairpins, and two larger tapered snap clips — each about 2.75 inches (7 cm) long. The gold-toned pieces have a shiny warm metallic finish, and the straight and snap styles have small serrated gripping edges along the contact surfaces. Note the composition is listed simply as metal, with no further material detail provided.[3,4] | Matte Rectangular Barrettes Set Of 2: Choose this if you want a simple set of two identical rectangular barrettes in a matte finish. Each 3-inch (8 cm) barrette has a slightly arched plastic frame with a central cutout revealing a silver metal snap clip, offered in one size and colors including Emerald/Kelly Green, Blue, Pink, and Golden Yellow. Note the frame is plastic with a metal clip, so it is a lightweight accessory rather than a heavy-duty hold piece.[5,6] |
