Shop the CRYSTAL LILY CLAW CLIP

The Crystal Lily Claw Clip is a petite, mother-of-pearl acetate clip fully encrusted in hand-set pave crystals, designed to crown the classic half-up with quiet, light-catching glamour. It is the most versatile hero in your hair wardrobe: dress up a slip dress, polish denim, or finish bridal-adjacent looks without competing with statement jewelry. Worn in a half-up, it reads romantic; twisted into a low chignon, it reads sculpted; clipped at the crown, it reads editorial.

10 Ways to Wear It

  1. Half-up with a delicate silk slip dress, dainty pave huggie earrings, and a single fine chain necklace so the clip stays the focal point of the face.
  2. Twisted low bun with an oversized blazer, wide-leg trousers, and architectural drop earrings to balance the volume of the shoulder with a sparkling hair moment.
  3. Loose waves with a crisp white poplin shirt, high-waisted jeans, and tiny diamond studs for a clean daytime look where the clip adds polish at the crown.
  4. Slicked-back ponytail with a black cashmere turtleneck, gold sculptural ear cuffs, and a long pendant necklace to let the clip frame the face like jewelry.
  5. Half-up with a floral midi dress, pearl drop earrings, and a layered mix of thin gold chains for a soft, garden-party silhouette.
  6. Tousled texture with a leather jacket, vintage tee, straight-leg denim, and one bold cocktail ring paired with miniature studs to keep the clip as the only hair accent.
  7. Low chignon with a strapless column gown, statement chandelier earrings, and a single bold cuff bracelet so the neck and ear zone do the heavy lifting.
  8. Crown placement with a chunky ribbed knit, slip skirt, and oversized sunglasses balanced with simple gold hoops for a model-off-duty finish.
  9. Half-up with a tweed jacket, A-line mini, sheer tights, Mary Janes, and petite pavé huggies to nod to a modern take on ladylike dressing.
  10. Clipped at the nape of a chignon with a poplin shirtdress, a thin leather belt, and sculptural gold ear climbers to spotlight the clip as a modern heirloom.

How to Style It With Your Hair

Hair DownSweep the front into a soft twist and pin the clip at the crown over loose, brushed-out waves to add instant polish without gathering the lengths.

PonytailSecure a mid-height ponytail, wrap a face-framing piece around the base, and fasten the clip over the elastic to read as a modern, jeweled ribbon.

Half-UpTwist the top section back from the temples, secure with the clip, and leave the lengths softly curled for the signature romantic, light-catching finish.

BunTwist hair into a low chignon at the nape, place the clip horizontally at the center of the bun, and pull a few face-framing pieces loose for an effortless, sculptural moment.

Styling Tips

  • Because the clip is fully pavéd, treat it as the focal point: choose petite earrings and a single delicate necklace so the sparkle at the crown does the talking.
  • Never stack it with another crystal headband or oversized hair bow in the same zone — the clip is the centerpiece, so let the rest of the hair accessories whisper.
  • Spot clean only and store in the striped resealable pouch to protect the hand-set crystals and the mother-of-pearl finish from dulling or scratching.
  • Place the clip slightly off-center or at the nape of a low bun to feel modern and editorial rather than schoolgirl-sweet.
  • For evening looks, pair the clip with reflective satin or silk fabrics so the pave crystals catch the same light as the fabric's sheen.
