It's beautiful to look at, which is kind of a problem only in that I can't see it when it's on the back of my head. The length of its prongs is perfect for my medium-thick hair to secure a bun or a French twist. It also seems to grab just the right amount if I need to quickly get just the top half of my hair away from my face. It feels very durable and solid. I've been using it constantly for the past couple weeks, and there's no sign of any scratching on its shiny surfaces. The subtle redness of the color is really great, because it can seem dark enough to be subtle in low light and eye-catching for just a moment in the sun, so I feel like I can wear it with anything.
