This is a handmade hairpin from Central Java.
Beautifully made, this decorative hairpin looks very elegant with its intricate filigree work. It is a traditional Javanese hairpin used for decorating hair buns, used mostly in weddings and for festive occassions. This beautiful hairpin can be used for decorating hair buns, it is not strong enough to use to make the bun ( a single chopstick or fork would be best to make a bun, and this can be added to the bun for decoration and extra stability - see my instructions in my Guides and a similar one in the pics). They give a classical elegance to your long hair when it is pinned up, and also make a wonderful gift for others.
This double pronged pin measures approx 4.8 cm in width at the end and 14.5 cm in length (usable length is 9 cm), weighing 15 g. It is made from brass with a light silver plating with gold plated trimmings, and made by the intricate filigree style (see pics of some filigree working). These are listed as multiple items, so may differ slightly being handmade. For care of these special pins please avoid contact with hair chemicals such as hair spray or they will tarnish (put in after spraying dries). Its best to store them in an airtight bag or container.
This product is made in Kote Gede, an old sector of Yogyakarta which is well known for its filigree tradition. We buy direct from the makers as we used to live there and have many family connections – resulting in fantastic prices for you!
