Many of the hair accessories we love today have a long and beautiful history. Here is a short journey through some of the most elegant vintage styles, and how to bring a touch of each into your everyday look.
Art Deco Hair Accessories
Art Deco hairpieces, often adorned with geometric shapes, sleek lines and pearls, became iconic symbols of the 1920s. Whether it was a velvet headband, a jewelled comb or an elegant hairpin, these accessories captured the spirit of the era.
For a little Art Deco sparkle today, our Crystal Curved Beak Clip is a lovely choice. Each crystal is set by hand, and a small set of teeth inside the clip gives extra grip, so it works beautifully in medium to fine hair. For a side-swept look, our Narrow Crystal Barrette Clip has two rows of handset crystals that catch the light beautifully.

Vintage Headbands
Baroque headbands trace their origins back to the opulent Baroque era, which flourished in Europe during the 17th and 18th centuries. The period was known for its decorative arts, drama and sculpture, and its headbands reflected this, with intricate designs and luxurious materials, often featuring pearls and gemstones.
For a modern take, our Crystal Studded Velvet Headband is embellished with shimmering crystals, and its timeless design complements any hairstyle.
Vintage Hair Pins
Chignon pins are a timeless piece, popular from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. They were much loved in the Victorian and Edwardian periods, as elaborate Victorian hairstyles gave way to the more relaxed yet still elegant styles of the early 1900s.
Our chignon pins are made from strong, flexible acetate. For a vintage-inspired finish in long hair, try our Long Filigree Hair Pin.
