Petite Alencon
Alencon Lace was created in France during the rule of Louis XIV. The French government encouraged
the best lace makers from Belgium and Italy to develop schools in the lace-making areas of Alencon, Arras and Sedan. At first, the lace produced
was identical to the Italian made laces but soon a new lace was being produced. This new, much softer lace, was luxurious, ornate, and with many more
filling stitches. The beauty of Alencon Lace has moved musicians, artists, designers and romantics alike. The exquisiteness of Alencon Lace inspired
this delicate and splendid hair adornment.
A mix of Austrian crystals and faux pearls create this delicate pair of silvertoned pins. The decoration of each
pin measures 3/4 of an inch high, and is 1 1/2 inch wide. These pins can be worn either on the side or in the back. They come in a pair of two.
White or off-white gowns look particularly lovely with this design.
