This lovely green and white hair stick is topped with an oval stone bead with alternating bands of green and white. It's set in a silver leaf-shaped beadcap that sets atop a coordinating green bead. This sets on an antiqued silver beadcap. ~ The beaded top is built on a strong steel pin that should not break with normal handling. ~ The round hair stick is hand turned from oak wood and given a dark brown stain. Several coats of polyurethane make it water resistant, but not water proof - it's fine to hold up your damp bun, but you don't want to wear it swimming. As with all my designs, the stick is completely smooth with a softly rounded tip, so it won't snag delicate hair. ~ Ready to ship * Total length of stick: 5" (12.7 cm) * Overall length, including the beaded top: 6 1/2" (16.5 cm) * Wood: hand carved oak with dark stain * Topper: green white stone bead, plated accents. Built on a strong steel pin.
