Recycled Silver Shell Hair Pins - Double order Hair Forks Sustainable Gift

These two Seashell Hair Pins are fit for a mermaid queen on her wedding day! With additional pins in place these can be added as just the right amount of detail in an already stunning braided bun or up-do! In this listing you will get two hair pins, choose between 2 scallop shell pins, 2 moon snail pins, or one of each! Other shells are available for this design, message me for custom options and a quote!

The width of the shells measure about 1/3" and the length is about 3"
The prongs themselves are sturdy yet flexible - Ideal for setting tendrils and curls in place.

The Hair Pins are made from the molding and casting of real found scallop and moon snail shells in recycled silver. I collected the original empty mollusk shells on a beach in Cape May, New Jersey and then sent them to a local, family owned casting company to be cast in multiples of solid metal. Once the castings are returned, I solder them on a hand forged double hair fork. Finally they are cleaned up and hand polished with care.

Care:
All jewelry needs special care, even the “indestructible” kinds! My jewelry is meant to last for generations when proper steps are taken, but natural aging and wear can occur. Jewelry should be the last thing you put on and the first thing you take off each day, avoiding contact with makeup, lotions and sprays will prolong its finish. Keeping your polished silver in plastic is the best way to prevent tarnish when not being worn. Do not swim in chlorine or saltwater wearing your HKM Jewelry and it is not recommended to clean or wash dishes with chemicals that can breakdown the metal or stones. All Jewelry can be cleaned with warm water and mild soap and a toothbrush, a polishing cloth will restore shine and help with tarnish on your silver. Use ketchup to remove tarnish from items with stones, as the vinegar is more gentle on them order than tarnish removing chemicals. Just cover your piece with ketchup, scrub with a toothbrush or your hands, then rinse and dry well. Do not use ketchup on Oxidized charms, as this will altar the finish.
