Spire Hair Stick - Yellow Bronze

The long, tapering form of this yellow bronze hair pin secures a bun or twist with ease. The sculptural shell carving evokes memories of summer — beachcombing, tidepooling, perhaps even a mermaid lagoon. Polished edges catch the light along the form, while the verdigris patina deepens with wear, adding depth and character to the design.

Cast in yellow bronze using the lost-wax method, the hair stick begins as a wax model hand-carved at the bench. The piece can be worn singly or doubled up, and pairs beautifully with another hair stick design for contrast. Like an ancient relic, the bronze patina evolves over time as the surface is handled and worn.

FAQ
How do I use a hair stick to secure a bun?
Twist hair into a bun or French twist, then insert the stick through the base, scoop a section of hair, and slide it back through to anchor. The stick holds without clips or elastics once positioned correctly.

Can I wear two hair sticks together?
Yes. Doubling up is a common styling approach. The Spire pairs well with the Slide Hair Stick or other Kirsten Muenster designs for contrast in form.

Will the patina change over time?
Yes. The verdigris patina deepens with wear and handling, while the polished edges stay bright. The piece develops character as it ages, like an ancient relic carrying the weight of time.
