Hair jewelry


Hair has always been dressed, adorned, styled, and hair jewelry has crossed all periods and styles. From combs to clips, from tiaras to pins, we find objects made of precious metals like gold or silver, or simpler materials like wood or horn. The Art Nouveau period was a very creative decade for hair jewelry: by honoring femininity and curves, the jewelers of the time allowed women to adorn their hair with accessories of great finesse and were indispensable elements of the toilet.

Today these jewels are elements that we easily wear during a wedding, a civil union ceremony, a beautiful party. They adorn the head and dress the hair for the special events of our lives.

    Authentic head jewel, this 19th century hairstyle accessory will adorn and sublimate your hair and give it a romantic final touch.

    Gemological point: it is a gem of organic origin. Only the branched calcareous trunks of certain corals are used in jewellery. Its colour is due to organic pigments close to carotene: varying from blood red to white, passing by the pink “angel skin”.

    Fashion point: in the 19th century, women wore their hair in twists on the top of their heads and in curls, hanging from each side of the face. They added a comb, flowers, leaves or jewelled ribbons to their hairstyle.
