This solid silver hair decoration can be used in a variety of ways to dress up a hair style! Dragonfly wings are hand shaped and textured from sheet metal, then affixed to a sturdy body made from 12 gauge wire. The wire is bent and shaped into waves like a bobby pin for greater staying power.

This pin can be used alone for a small amount of hair (it will hold slightly more than a bobby pin and less than most barrettes) or added as decoration to a hair tie. It measures 5.4 cm long with a wingspan of 3.9 cm. As with all handmade items, the actual product may vary (very!) slightly from that pictured.

Idle Talons works in argentium (0.935) silver, an alloy that contains a higher percentage of elemental silver than sterling, and replaces some of the copper content with germanium which makes it more tarnish resistant than any other silver alloy. Argentium silver is nickel-free which makes it suitable for most people with metal allergies.
