Choosing between a burgundy and a smoky blue rose claw clip? Start with the jewelry and clothing you wear most often. Burgundy Red & Gold is an easy starting point if you enjoy warm metal tones and a rich floral accent. Smoky Blue & Silver is worth considering if you prefer cooler jewelry and a muted blue palette.
Both colors belong to the STARLET Vintage Rose Rhinestone Metal Hair Claw Clip design. The choice is about which version you will reach for. Use this comparison to decide whether you want your accessory to blend with an outfit or introduce a different color.
Burgundy or smoky blue: a quick comparison
| Consider | Burgundy Red & Gold | Smoky Blue & Silver |
|---|---|---|
| Floral color | Deep red roses | Muted blue roses with lighter petal edges |
| Metal appearance | Gold-tone frame and leaf details | Dark, silver-tone frame and leaf details |
| An easy jewelry pairing | Gold-tone earrings, rings, or a watch | Silver-tone earrings, rings, or a watch |
| A tonal direction to try | Wine, brown, or warm cream | Navy, slate, or charcoal |
| A contrasting direction to try | A red floral accent against a simple gray outfit | A cool blue accent against a warm cream outfit |
These pairings are starting points, not requirements. Gold and silver describe the appearance of the finishes here; the product uses a metal alloy frame.
Use three outfits you already own to choose
Instead of planning an entirely new wardrobe around a clip, choose three outfits you wear regularly: an everyday outfit, something for dinner, and a comfortable weekend look. Put the jewelry you would normally wear beside each one.
- Look for a repeated metal tone. If the same gold-tone earrings appear with all three outfits, Burgundy Red & Gold gives you a simple connection. If your favorite watch and earrings are silver-tone, start by considering Smoky Blue & Silver.
- Decide what the clip should add. Does the outfit need a visible floral accent, or would you rather keep its colors close together? Both colorways can do either job; the effect depends on the clothing beside them.
- Count the combinations you would wear. Give each colorway one point for every outfit you can comfortably picture wearing it with. If one works with all three and the other needs extra purchases, you have a practical answer.
For example, a navy wardrobe with silver-tone jewelry may make smoky blue the easiest daily choice. The same navy wardrobe with gold-tone jewelry might make burgundy more appealing. Clothing color alone does not have to decide.
What if you wear black or mix your metals?
A mostly black wardrobe leaves room for either version. Burgundy introduces a deep red floral note; smoky blue introduces a cooler blue one. Try choosing by the accessory nearest your face, such as your earrings, then check how the clip fits the whole outfit.
If you mix metals, look for one repeated detail instead of trying to make everything identical. A gold-tone ring can connect with the burgundy clip even when your earrings are silver-tone. A silver-tone bag clasp can echo the smoky blue version in an otherwise warm palette.
You can also choose the color you enjoy most and keep the other accessories simple. The comparison is meant to make the decision easier, not turn personal taste into a rule.
Look closely at the roses and the frame
Compare the whole clip rather than only the flowers. In the product photographs, the burgundy version combines deep red roses with a warm gold-tone structure. The smoky blue version has lighter edges on the petals and a darker metal appearance. Those details may matter more to your choice than the broad labels “red” and “blue.”
View both colorways on the same screen with the same display settings. Product lighting and screen settings can affect how a color looks, so use the photographs to compare the overall design rather than relying on them for an exact color match to a dress.

Choose one colorway or a set of two?
Choose a single clip when one version clearly fits your usual jewelry and favorite clothes. A piece with several uses in your existing wardrobe can be a satisfying first choice.
Consider the Set of 2 option if you can already name different outfits for each colorway. For instance, you might prefer burgundy with warm-toned accessories and smoky blue with a cooler palette. You do not need both to make either one work.
Color does not establish how a clip will fit your hair. Review the size and weight on the product page as a separate part of your choice; do not assume a different color will change its holding capacity.
