Exuding mood-infused elegance and modern minimalism, the Arwen Grey Pearl French Hair Pin offers a contemporary interpretation of heirloom adornment. Assembled by hand in Aethera atelier in Melbourne, this sleek hair pin pairs a streamlined, polished silver-tone brass stem with a rare, lustrous grey cultured pearl.

The grey pearl features a rich, iridescent metallic sheen that contrasts beautifully against cool silver tones. Its slender, tapered pin structure glides seamlessly into hair twists, chignons, and half-up styles, providing a secure, comfortable hold while adding an enigmatic, moonlit focal point to your look.

Design notes on how to wear french hairpin:

The Classic French Twist: Gather your hair into a ponytail at the nape of your neck, twist it upward tightly, and fold it back down against your head. Insert the Arwen Hair Pin downward into the top edge of the twist, catch a small section of hair near the scalp, flip the pin inward, and push it firmly into the center of the twist.

The Sculptural Low Bun: Twist your hair into a smooth or textured low chignon. Slide the pin diagonally through the outer ring of the bun, capturing both the bun and hair against your scalp to lock it firmly in place while letting the iridescent grey pearl sit as a metallic accent.

The Half-Up Knot: Take the top half of your hair and twist it into a small top knot or loop at the crown. Weave the pin horizontally through the base of the knot to secure it with a sleek, minimalist finish.

Details and Care: 

Length of pin is 12.5cm and brass base. Due to the nature of the pearls, slight difference of colouration and sizes are to be expected.Check out our stone lexicon to learn the distinct meanings behind the elemental materials.
