About LongLocks SugarStix Hair Ornaments |
|||||||
|
LongLocks SugarStix hair ornaments were actually inspired by one of the greatest fashion icons of our time. Although she was many things to many people, Diana, Princess of Wales certainly made her mark with style. She once wore the most stunning cocktail dress I have ever seen... a sleeveless little number that was "sugared" with tiny clear glass seed beads that entirely covered the pattern of the colorful floral fabric beneath, creating a shimmering, frosted effect. It was simply gorgeous and though it took me literally years to finally discover who the designer was (it was part of Catherine Walker's "Russian Collection SS '97" and was worn by Diana on June 23, 1997 to the Christie's of New York auction preview of her gowns), that dress has stuck in my mind since the first time I saw it, and my admiration of it eventually manifested itself into LongLocks SugarStix. Designed with a focus on vintage Swarovski crystal, hand crafted lampwork by internationally recognized glass artists and exceptional beads coveted by collectors, LongLocks SugarStix hair ornaments are created by detailing natural bone hair sticks in floral decoupage or graphic designs and then finishing them with a glittering "sugared" effect. The result is a frosted, opulent design of exquisite beauty. These hair accessories are created using precious metal findings and the sugared designs are preserved under several layers of clear enamel. Every hand crafted LongLocks SugarStix hair jewelry design is one-of-a-kind and never duplicated! These original hand crafted hair ornaments and the process by which they are created are a LongLocks HairSticks® exclusive and can be found nowhere else. LongLocks SugarStix hair pins may be custom ordered in the LongLocks SwingStix, DuetStix, GeishaStix, SterlingStix and GemStix styles.
