Pixies are mythical creatures of folklore, considered to be particularly concentrated in the areas around Devon and Cornwall, suggesting some Celtic origin for the belief and name. In regional dialect, these mischievous little folk are sometimes referred to as piskies/piskeys or the little people. They are usually depicted with pointed ears, and often wearing a green outfit and pointed hat. Sometimes their eyes are described as being pointed upwards at the temple ends.These hair sticks would go well for a pixie seeing that they are allergic to silver. These hair sticks are decorated with what was an old/new pair of earrings. I'm not sure of the age of the earrings although they look vintage style but have a frosted gold patina. On the back of the earring it is stamped made in the U.S.A They are of very good quality. I have reinforced the wire with a barrel bead and they are very sturdy on the end of the stick. The hand carved bone hair sticks are from India, where they are harvested after the animal dies from natural causes. I have hand painted them in a shade of frosted white. Hand painting these sticks is a time consuming process. Each stick has to dry a day in between coats and each stick requires at least 3 coats, so they are naturally more expensive than the wood, plus bone does not break like the wood can it is very sturdy. They may break if you drop them on a hard floor, however I have never had any to break in my hair like the wooden ones. These sticks measure 5 1/2" long with 4 1/" of usable stick. Thanks for looking!
