DescriptionThis pair of tweezers from a pedicure set includes a handle portion that encompasses squared-off edges and gets thicker towards the bottom, likely implemented for a more precise grip. The handle is also constructed of abalone shell, creating a colorful and iridescent appearance throughout. The handle connects to the metal portion, composed of two flattened pieces, serving as the tweezer segment of the tool.On View
