Description:

From website:
Handcrafted hair sticks, circlets, fine woven jewelry, and unique hair accessories are my specialty. I make each piece custom from a variety of materials that you select.
The hairstick page:
These hair sticks are handcrafted in solid stainless steel, have rounded tips, and feature either a metal, wood, or porcelain focal bead of your choice. Available in several styles and lengths to suit your needs. Complete wrapping instructions included.

The glass will break if you drop it . . . I found out the hard way.

I've ordered several items from this woman. What I really like about her product is that the sticks are very inexpensive, you can order singles or pairs, and you can order any length you choose. She has options from 5" to 8" but leaves the possibility to order lengths not listed so I assume you could order even shorter and perhaps longer.
The sticks are very sturdy and don't bend. They remind me of the sticks that Ron Quattro uses in thickness, durability and they also have the same grip. For someone who loves Ron Quattro's sticks but can't afford the price, these are an inexpensive alternative. They aren't quite as artsy of course, but she has some lovely choices available and she is still expanding her store.
I've ordered a couple of her barrettes and they are OK but I really love the hairsticks. My favorites are the carved bone, bumpy lampwork and the blue porcelain. But the plain metal are also nice and can be used as an everyday pin in the bathroom and/or for damp bunning.
At her modest price you can afford to buy them in several lengths. Shorter ones for half-updos and longer ones for full updos. You can also afford to have some extras to put in your purse as emergency sticks.
All in all a very good buy and an attractive hairtoy.

Pros:

inexpensive, pretty, simple, good selection,
|
|
Cons:
|
thin stick, small ornament
|

Overall, I was pleased with these hairsticks.
The website offers a lot of variety of ornament choice, such as glass beads (the iradescent dark teal is gorgeous, fyi) and gemstones such as tiger-eye or mother-of-pearl. You can also choose carved bone or wood.
My only qualm with these hairsticks is that they are a lot smaller than I expected. Although you can choose the length, the thickness of the stick is pretty small, maybe 2-3 millimeters. Also, I found the wood and bone ornaments were smaller in real life than I expectied. Maybe a centimeter in diameter.
Despite this, I am still very pleased with my purchases. For what they cost ($5-9), they are well worth the price.
