Prototypes

[copper & sterling]

I’ve been experimenting a bit with hair ornaments lately and hope to be able to soon offer you a few pairs of conchos for braid ends or pony tails in my shop!   The longer my hair gets, the more often I find myself tying it back in simple pony tails or braiding it to keep it from tangling in the wind while I’m running or hiking on the mountain.  Little metal conchos with elastic attachments are a beautiful way to decorate a simple ponytail or braid — a dash of metalwork seems to take the ordinary nature out of ordinary hairstyles.  The pair of braid conchos I’m sporting in these photos are simple, roll printed copper with sterling elastic anchors.  They’re pretty sweet and they make me feel like a sassy buckaroo.

    They’re delightful and you are sassy smartness.

  5. My hair has been braided more times over the past two weeks than over the past five years previous. Clearly, I need some of these.

  6. Love them! Can’t wait to see them appear in the shop.

  7. Oh. Oh. I can’t wait. Braids get boring after a while, and these seem to be the necessary spice. So beautifully understated.

  8. I LOVE these.

    YAY! for hair bling! Unfortunately for me I have a very short hairdo these days, and you are making me long for the days of long blond Heidi braids! This, is going to be a great series of creations, I can tell already 🙂

  10. the itch to cut my shoulder-length hair gnaws at me ’til i remember your braids are my inspiration.
    mine will be long and sterling-grey with bits of copper to rein them in.
