Sakura Pearl Four-Pearl Hairpin - The Hairpin of Happiness

The Hairpin of Happiness Adorn your hair with four lustrous, naturally colored pearls for an elegant, shimmering style. We've crafted a hairpin featuring four pearls, designed to hold your hair securely. The hairpin has a gentle wave, offering a firm hold. Each freshwater pearl is unique in shape, making this a one-of-a-kind treasure. Perfect for elegantly sweeping aside side strands that tend to get caught on masks, tucking into a loosely gathered bun, or adding a delicate accent to the clasp of a ponytail. With their subtle hues, these pearls offer an effortlessly chic atmosphere without appearing too formal. As mass production is challenging, freshwater pearl hair accessories are rarely found commercially. They create a delicate, cool, and luxurious accent. Hairpin length: Approximately 55mm Freshwater pearls: Approximately 7mm *Please note that the color may vary slightly depending on the season due to the natural coloring. (Ranging from a pale pink close to white to a more orange-toned pink.) As these are natural pearls with individual differences, please leave the selection of pearl color, shape, and size to us. *Packaging materials may change without prior notice depending on the season. Regardless of the packaging used, our studio staff will carefully wrap your item. ■ Please Note ■ * Please avoid getting the hairpin wet. * While the pearls are firmly attached, to prevent deterioration, gently open the "pin clasp" with your fingers instead of pulling the pearl part when putting on or taking off. * To ensure a strong bond for the round pearls, a small amount of adhesive may be intentionally allowed to extend slightly. ■ About Pearls ■ Purity, Health, Longevity, Wealth, Dignity, Patience, Easy Childbirth, Birthstone for June. Also known as "Moon Dew" or "Mermaid's Tears," pearls possess a beautiful luster. We use freshwater pearls found within freshwater mussels. Pearls have appeared in recorded history as early as around 3200 BC in Egypt. Legend has it that Cleopatra dissolved pearls in vinegar and drank them. Records indicate pearls were used in other parts of the world, including China around 2300 BC, Persia around the 7th century BC, and Rome around the 3rd century BC. In Japan, their presence is noted in ancient texts such as the Kojiki, Nihon Shoki, and Manyoshu. The "Gishi Wajinden" (Records of Wei: Account of the Wa people) mentions Himiko sending 5,000 white pearls to the Cao Wei state. The Manyoshu includes 56 poems that incorporate pearls. The designation of pearls as the birthstone for June is a Japanese convention. In Western cultures, hardness is prioritized for items passed down through generations. In Japan, they are respected as a significant local product. Considered the gem that best suits Japanese women's complexions, they are said to be as natural as the skin of Japanese women.
