I wanted to play with using several weights of filigree wire in one piece, to add subtlety and dimension to the effect. The heart uses three weights of handmade filigree wire.

As someone who has long hair myself, I like making hair ornaments. There are so few available these days!

Sterling silver.

Entire stick 6.25 inches (16.0 cm); heart 0.875 x 0.875 inches (20 x 20 mm).

2007.

For sale: $115 US. Please email me for details.
The whole hairstick, albeit at an angle. This gives an idea of the scale of the filigree to the hairstick itself, as well as the twist in the stick that allows more secure seating in the hair.
