Top Knot Crown Hair Pin

The perfect way to adorn a top knot, our crown is made of two pieces: an ultra-modern curve of metal and a straight pin. This is such a beautiful and sleek way to dress up an easy hair style.

Note the pin will not hold the weight of most top knots on its own. It comes with a hair elastic to make your bun. Then you can just add the pin over the elastic!

Each one is made to order by hand in our small, Portland, Oregon studio. We use solid jeweler's brass to create a bun cuff that will be durable and long lasting, as well as beautiful and elegant in its simplicity.

• Cuff measures 2.75" across to accommodate most buns
• Cuff is 0.75" tall and stem is 4.5" long
• Comes with an elastic hair tie
• Made with solid yellow brass or solid white brass
• Natural brass will darken with time
• It's easy to keep your hair pin shiny with a polishing cloth

YELLOW BRASS

Our brass is the highest graded alloy and it comes from mills in the American Southwest. Brass is a very similar color to 14k gold but is a harder material and more resistant to scratches. We wax all of our brass to slow the rate of tarnish, but natural brass does have a tendency to patina and darken with time. We love this about brass, but if you'd like to keep it in its shiny state, you can easily wipe it clean with a polishing cloth. You can also wipe your darkened yellow brass piece with a solution of white vinegar and salt to dissolve the discoloration. It will make your fingers smell like vinegar, but it's handy when you don't have a polishing cloth!

We never use brass in our ear posts, ear wires, chains, or rings, since direct contact with the skin can cause a green reaction. It is completely harmless, but annoying, so we avoid it altogether! 

WHITE BRASS

Sometimes called Nickel Silver or German Silver, this alloy is made with brass and nickel to give it its silvery color. It does not contain actual silver. It is very hard, resistant to scratches, and stays shiny for a long time. It will develop a patina with time (albeit slowly!). It can be polished with one of our polishing cloths. White brass does not like contact with chlorine. Our white brass is milled in the American Southwest.

If you have a nickel allergy, it is not advised to have direct skin contact for long periods of time with this metal. It is still okay touch the metal if you have an allergy. Nickel is not harmful unless you have a nickel allergy, and even then, the allergy will subside if the metal is removed from your skin. We only offer white brass hair pins to minimize skin contact.
