Calling All Naiads!

Calling all Naiads! Larkin hand-fabricated this gorgeous two-piece hair decoration entirely from solid sterling silver. Don’t let the delicacy of the cat tail and dragonfly fool you— this is a sturdy piece of hardware that will stay put through a busy day!

Both pieces are slightly bent so the clasp lays flat against the head and is comfortable even when leaning back against a head-rest.

They are designed to be placed with the dragonfly facing the hair, then the dragonfly is twisted 180 degrees tightening the clasp and securing the decoration securely in the hair.

The frame is hammered, work-hardening the silver so the fit will remain snug over time. The pin has been rolled through a mill to achieve the same result.

Can you tell I'm excited about Larkin's new line? 😅 These really are *the best* combination of function and exquisite form! Just for funsies we combined it with a lily pad hair pin :)
