Lovely hand carved turtle wooden Hair Pin!
Measures: 3.1 cm (1 1/4 '') wide (at top) x 17.5 cm ( 7'') long
functional length : 12 cm (4 2/3")
Made from : wood, handcarved
Weight: approx 7 g

This is a hand carved hairpin from Tampaksiring, Bali.
Beautifully made, this decorative hairpin looks very pretty on. The natural wood is variagated in colour. Each pin is quite unique! They give a beautiful touch to your long hair when it is pinned up (see my Guides for bun ideas, especially the second one which suits this style), and also make a wonderful gift for others.

This double pronged pin measures approx 3.1 cm in width at the end and 17.5 cm in length (usable length is 12 cm), weighing approx 7 gm. It is made from Sono wood, a sustainable and durable hard wood which holds up well in moving to dry colder climates, and has beautiful markings. It is much more common than other tropical hardwoods of comparable beauty - some of which have been sadly overused and now have become rare. These are listed as multiple items, so they may differ slightly, being hand carved from a natural material.
This product is made in Tampaksiring, a little town in the centre of Bali. We first spotted these lovely hairpins in Yogyakarta and bought some there, and by an amazing coincidence we met the maker while travelling home via Bali. We buy direct from the maker – resulting in fantastic prices for you!
Just add $1 per additional item for combined postage within Australia (this offer is for our hair accessories only - overseas buyers please enquire)! It goes without saying that we carefully package these beautiful handicrafts well to safely post to you…
