Knot Hairpin Forged to Finish Wearable Art
from $39.99
These unique Knot hairpins are individually hand forged in rural Appalachia by artist blacksmith Carter Conley. The forged knot is often used to represent weddings and anniversaries, but many just like the aesthetic of a knot forged in steel, it makes people ask " how did they do that"? The Hair pins are forged from 3/16" round steel and are around 7 inches overall length. Choose the hairpin by itself or add a barrette! I use the smallest diameter steel possible for the hairpins and barrettes to keep the overall weight down. These are Forged individually and each one may be slightly different while retaining the same overall aesthetic. After forging the forge scale is removed and the pieces are coated with paste wax at a low heat to give a nice looking finish that also helps prevent rust. Iron is the Traditional 6 year wedding anniversary gift, Steel is the 11th year. The words Iron and Steel are almost always used interchangeably in Blacksmithing due to the availability of materials Items that would have been made from Wrought Iron, are now made from mild low carbon steel, the closest we as modern smiths can find readily available. Thanks for checking out my blacksmith shop! Carter Conley
