As a jewelry designer we often focus on whatever is normally classified as your typical jewelry, such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, earrings and anklets. But if we step back for a moment and look outside the box, there is another facet of
jewelry making that can be explored, such as hair accessories and tiaras. We don't always think about hair accessories as being jewelry, but it is. In fact, hair accessories may be made with the same materials as jewelry designs are made up of: pearls, gemstones, precious metals like silver and gold. There is no end to what beautiful hair jewelry you can design.
I've done just that with the hair barrette below. I used thick
.925 sterling silver wire and after forming and hammering and adding gemstone beads to create this sterling silver hair vine accessory. The gemstones are petrified wood with red sponge coral. It's a beautiful hair accessory. Great gift for a lady with long, thick locks. For more information, please
