Design Detail
Structure
Visual Focus
The curved top and gradually tapered prongs create a simple, elongated silhouette. The reflective gold-tone surface highlights the shape without additional stones or decorative attachments.
Wear & Placement
The two-prong form is intended to pass through a styled bun or updo. Suitable length, spacing, and curvature should be evaluated on samples for the intended hair type and styling method.
Customization Options for This Design
Adjust the profile, dimensions, and finish to suit your accessory collection. Structural changes are reviewed before sampling.
Overall Length & Width
Adjust the overall dimensions for your intended hairstyle, product positioning, and packaging format.
Prong Spacing
Develop the gap between the two prongs around the intended insertion method and styling application.
Prong Profile & Thickness
Review taper, cross-section, and thickness to balance appearance, rigidity, and insertion comfort.
Top Curve & Shape
Modify the top curve to create a narrower, wider, or more rounded silhouette, subject to tooling review.
Plating & Surface Finish
Discuss gold-tone, silver-tone, or other finish options. Color references and approved samples guide production.
Discreet Logo Placement
Explore a small logo on a suitable inner or rear surface, subject to available space and marking feasibility.
Manufacturing Notes for This Design
Key production considerations for the long prongs, curved top, and visible metal surface.
Long-Prong Filling & Straightness
The long, tapered sections require tooling and casting review to support consistent filling. Prong straightness and distortion should be checked after casting and finishing.
Curved-Top Transition
The transition between the curved top and the two prongs should avoid abrupt changes in cross-section. This area requires review for casting quality and structural integrity.
Rounded Tips & Smooth Inner Edges
Prong tips, inner edges, and parting lines require careful finishing. Burrs and rough areas should be removed to reduce snagging during insertion and removal.
Surface Preparation Before Plating
Visible surfaces should be checked for pits, casting marks, and polishing inconsistencies before plating. The inner curve and tips also require inspection after finishing.
