the hairsticks are "curled" to help keep your hair up

Artisan Tahitian Carved Pendant Style:Iva the hairsticks are "curled" toEach and every piece is unique. Using the black lipped mother of pearl oyster shells known for producing the coveted Tahitian black pearls, our artisan carves tattoo (tatau) designs inspired by the shape, color and thickness of each shell. Each piece is approximately 2 inches in height or width (depending on the design). A Tahitian black pearl is included with the pendant. A black nylon cord is attached to adjust for just about anyone's preference.
