This Song brocade fan hairpin is a traditional Chinese style that can be used to add a touch of traditional Chinese style to your hairstyle. The fan-shaped head is covered with fabric and is decorated with a plum blossom design, with a thin metal border. The pattern and placement of the color may be slightly different for each piece, resulting in a unique appearance for each hairpin.
The straight hair stick is matte antique-gold-tone, which complements classic buns and low updos. A ruyi-shaped clasp is attached to a thin chain and small gold-tone bead tassels, which link the head to the delicate chain and small gold-tone bead tassels. The hanging parts of the details sway as you move, like the hair ornaments of the traditional Chinese people.
