The focal bead of this glorious hair stick is reminisce of a world covered in water. It's made with a tropical blue imperial jasper bead covered in sandy rivers and rusty islands, and sets above an antiqued gold flower rondelle bead. Gold spacers complete the design. The beaded top is built on a strong steel pin that should not bend or break with normal handling. ~ The smooth, round hair stick is hand turned from oak. 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. * Usable length of stick: 4 3/4" (12 cm) * Total length, including the beaded top: 5 7/8" (14.9 cm) * Wood: hand carved oak * Topper: blue imperial jasper beads, plated beads and accents. Built on a strong steel pin.
