Pink Pearl & Blue Crystal Alice Ring - Tiara This versatile ornament is sometimes called an alice ring, although you might be more familiar with it as a tiara, headband, or circlet. The ring is formed of solid brass, which has been worked against an anvil to shape and harden the metal. This design features 6-mm pink glass pearls, assorted vintage blue crystals, and silverlined gold Matsuno glass seed beads, wired (brass) onto the circular form. I chose to loop the ends of the ring to provide security when wearing it in the hair. My favorite way to wear this item is to place it on top of the head and push the ends down into the hair (as a tiara). The alice ring also can be worn on the forehead (in this case, set the band against the forehead and let the edges slip upward into hair at the temple... it will curve down toward the nose, but is not intended to sit flat against the brow), as a headband, and as a choker on the neck. You can use firm but gentle pressure to adjust the ring tighter/looser, rounder/oval. The length is a bit over 13 inches. As always, please e-mail me if you have any questions. The actual circlet is larger than the photograph.
