chrysanthemum drops hair sticks

A single wooden hair stick made with wired-on chrysanthemum flowers, with a low-snag dangle made from filigree alloy and faceted glass. The sticks measure about 7″ long; the part that can go in your hair is just over 5″. The dangles are about .75″ across at their widest and 2.25″ from top to bottom. They weigh about 22grams each (about as much as four nickels) for the big flowers, or 20g each for the little guys.

The flowers are on both sides of the stick, so you can wear them in whichever direction you please. These guys happened because I found some rhinestone chrysanthemum charms and decided to try for a more traditional vibe. The larger-flowered version is a limited run, though, due to how I’ve held onto those chrysanthemum pieces for long enough that they’re a) out of production, and b) vintage. D: Get ’em while you can!

Here’s a demo, with one of the cascades sticks:
