Sapphire Barrettes
itemPair of barrettes fashioned from sapphires set in a non-metal medium for securing hair. Completely free of any metal components to avoid Allomantic interference.
The Sapphire Barrettes debut in *The Well of Ascension* as a clever, metal-free accessory crafted from sapphires set in a non-metallic medium, designed specifically to secure hair without risking Allomantic interference from metals. This invention highlights the era's ingenuity in accommodating Mistborn who must remove all metals to safely use atium or counter emotional Allomancy. Though they appear only in the second book of the original Mistborn trilogy, the barrettes symbolize the practical adaptations born from the tension between fashion and the perils of Allomancy in a world dominated by metallic arts.
