Ace of Hearts Claw Hair Clip

I love that Solar Eclipse can turn something as ordinary as a playing card into an accessory you'd genuinely want to wear.

The Ace of Hearts is instantly recognisable, but it's the details that make it special. Soft marbled ivory acetate, rich red hearts, delicate gold accents and a beautifully illustrated rose at the centre give it the feeling of a vintage deck that's been reimagined as wearable art.

It's a statement piece, but an easy one. Clip it into a messy twist, a sleek bun or a half-up style and it does all the work for you. The extra-strong hinge holds comfortably throughout the day, while the double-sided design means it looks just as good from every angle.

Designed in New York and hand-painted in small batches, each clip is crafted from biodegradable cellulose acetate made from recycled wood pulp. The marbling varies slightly from piece to piece, making every one unique.

It's exactly the sort of accessory that catches someone's eye without you having to say a word.
