White and Silver, Nothing Else
This silver filigree Viking hair slide features an openwork flower with a white pearl set at its center. No other colors: it is the softest of the four filigree pieces in this category, and the only one without a colored cabochon. A pin runs through it, held by a small chain that prevents it from being lost. Find it in our collection of Viking hair slides and hair jewelry.
For the same frame with colored stones, see the hair slide with turquoise and red gems.
What Sets This Hair Slide Apart
Removing color from an ornate piece completely changes the occasion for which it is worn.
- Colorless: the only one of the four filigree pieces in white and silver—it works well for ceremonial attire.
- Floral motif: the only one in the category, whereas the other twenty-two pieces feature knots, beasts, or spirals.
- Central pearl: set rather than glued, it catches the light at the heart of the openwork.
- Safety chain: the pin remains attached to the base.
For a piece that is equally discreet but uses a Nordic vocabulary, see the infinite knot hair slide.

Did you know?
The Scandinavians were familiar with pearls, but primarily in the form of glass. Excavations at Ribe and Hedeby have yielded entire workshops of bead makers, with their crucibles and glass rods brought from afar—often repurposed Roman mosaic tiles. A single grave could contain dozens of them, strung between two oval brooches. Oyster pearls, however, remain exceptional: what shone at the neck of a Viking woman was almost always glass, not mother-of-pearl.

Brooch or hair barrette: which one to choose?
| Type | Where it is worn | What you need to know |
|---|---|---|
| Garment brooch (fibula) | On a cloak, a shawl, a coat or a jacket lapel. | These are the largest pieces in the range. Six close with a straight pin and a clasp; two are penannular: an open ring locked by the tension of the fabric, with no spring to wear out. |
| Barrette with a hair stick | In a bun, a braid or a half-up ponytail. | Two pieces: the plate sits on the hair, the stick goes through the lock and holds everything in place. You need enough hair for the stick to go through: with hair shorter than shoulder length, the hold becomes uncertain. |
| Light barrette or clip this product | On medium-length hair, including fine hair. | The filigree models have a small chain that holds the stick; the flat barrettes close with a clip and need no minimum length. These are the most discreet pieces and the easiest to put in. |
| Medallion barrette | Flat on a half-up ponytail or a low bun. | A solid disc that sits on the gathered lock instead of going through it. It is the shape that needs the least hair length, and the only one that shows a scene rather than an ornament. |
How to wear it
There is no size to choose, but you need enough hair. These pieces hold by the lock they go through: with hair shorter than shoulder length, the hold becomes uncertain.
How to put in a stick barrette, in three steps: gather your hair into a bun or a half-up ponytail, place the plate over it, then slide the stick into the left slot, through the lock, and out through the right slot. The lock caught between the two holds everything, not a spring.
The sticks on their own (moon, leaves, sword) go straight into a twisted bun, without a plate. The fuller the bun, the better they hold.
Clip barrettes need no minimum length: they are the only ones suited to short or fine hair.
If it slips: add a discreet hair tie under the plate to give the stick something to go through. The four filigree models also have a small chain that holds the stick, so it does not fall if it comes out.
Care: dry cloth. Avoid water, hairspray and styling sprays, which dull the finish and build up in the hollows of the metal.
Is the pearl real?
No, it is a white imitation pearl, set in the center of the flower. It is held by a prong.
How does it differ from the three other filigree models?
It is the only one without color: white and silver only, with a floral motif instead of a row of cabochons.
Is it very noticeable?
It is the most understated of the four: no turquoise, no red, just one light-colored pearl in the center.
Is the little chain useful?
Yes, it connects the stick to the plate and keeps the stick from falling if it slips out of your hair.
