Contoured Apple Wood Hair Pin

£35.00

This handcrafted hair pin is made from Apple Wood. It features a stunning, fine, intricate grain at the top with hints of greenish grey alongside natural bark and a dark knotted pattern. The pin has several contours running down the fine grained length to help keep a positive hold in your hair. A strong, smooth, natural and beautiful pin.

The Apple tree is the oldest cultivated tree in Europe.

Here at Made on a Hill we are surrounded by the remnants of ancient orchards. There are over 156 varieties that trace their history to this region of the country. The ancient name for Glastonbury was Avallon, which means ‘The Isle of Apples’ in the Celtic language.

In ancient mythology, the Apple is one of the most sacred trees and symbolises good health and future happiness. Since ancient times Apples have also been known as the 'Tree of Love' and are associated with Aphrodite, goddess of love.

The Apple I have in stock has been gathered after pruning from trees in our own garden and from some very old hollow trees in an ancient orchard in a quiet valley near Bath.
