PERK UP YOUR PONY!

You put a lot of effort into your outfit, your ponytail should be on par! Lately, we're really into this whole "hair jewelry" category of accessorizing and this fabulous vintage find might just take the cake. (We basically had to pry it out of Audrey's hands!) It's a two-piece sterling silver shield-and-slide designed to cover those less-than-lovely ponytail elastics (but could also possibly work over a small chignon). The shield is a modified scalloped concho with a convex center adorned with two cabochons of lightly matrixed turquoise and accented with sterling silver stampwork, paired with a complementing stick to secure your ‘do. .
