A barette for clipping hair made entirely from metal stampings comprises an elongate arcuate first clamp member and second clamp member. The first clamp member has a folded section formed on either end thereof by folding over the terminal end portions of the sheet metal blank from which the member is formed. As embossed raised portion formed centrally on each folded section defines a receiving space therein for a hinge insert and locking insert. A pair of elongate extensions formed on the hinge insert enable pivotable attachment to a corresponding end of the second clamp member, and a pair of elastic extensions on the locking insert enable releasable securement with a hasp provided on the opposing end of the second clamp member. Retaining appendages formed on the base of both the hinge insert and locking insert engage corresponding mating surfaces provided on their respective folded sections to fixedly secure the inserts in the receiving spaces after sliding insertion therein.
