where can I find a crystal hair comb for the day of?

I tried on a very pretty, very simple crystal hair comb today with the veils, and I'd like to get something similar for my wedding day.

I can't even find a pic of something similar online. It's really not a full tiara - it's the length of the comb that holds the veil in (am I making sense?)

I have been searching through Ebay and finding similar things -- just wondering where else to look.

They wanted over $100 for the one I tried on in the store. If I can't find something similar for less, I'll go back to the store to order it... I was going to today, but I picked out such an expensive veil that I figured I'd shop around to see if I could get a better deal on the comb.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

ETA: This is the one I found and loved:

ETA - I want the crystal part to be not much longer at all (or if at all) than the comb itself - something pretty small.

I'll try using those words to search, thanks!

(I'm not up on my hair accessory terminology! )

Think sort of like what Carmen electra had in her hair the day of the wedding with her veil. I'll see if I can find the pic...

Yes, like that. I just don't want it so big (or so long) -- but that's the idea!

Simpler, like this (maybe a little thicker -- and, uh, not purple )

Thank you both for the ideas!

I haven't tried Barron's... maybe I'll make a trip out there soon.

If not, I'm just going to go back and order it. It just went perfectly -- if I can't match it almost exactly for less, I'll order it through them. I'm worth it!

i know exactly what you want b/c i was looking for the same thing. I didnt want a tiara but i wanted a short and thin hair comb that i can put on the top of my hair, without looking like a tiara.

I bought mine at Bridal Styles in brooklyn, they are a vendor on here as well. They were really really nice the sales girl took out like 50 tiras and combs before i picked the one i wanted. i wish i had a picture to show you mine but it is being custom made (they all are) Mine is swarovski crystals and white pearls with a silver finish is the same legth and thickness of the one you posted above that you liked.
