Head Chains

What is a head chain and how do you wear it?

A head chain is a hair accessory that sits around the forehead to decorate the head subtly. It is worn like a jewelled headband, sometimes by delicately draping the fine chain across the forehead. This light piece of jewellery brings out your face by adding a touch of elegance to your hairstyle, whether simple or sophisticated.

Our forehead chains are often made in silver-tone or gold-tone finishes, bright and eye-catching. You can choose a model decorated with pearl-effect beads or set stones, depending on the style you prefer, whether boho or more oriental. Most have an adjustable length with a practical clasp, so that you can fit it to your head without ever feeling it tight.

To wear it well, place it in the middle of the forehead, letting it fall naturally or pairing it with a bun or with loose hair. It suits special occasions such as a wedding or a festival very well, where it elevates your outfit while staying discreet and elegant. Our head chains are as light as a breath; you will almost forget you are wearing them.

How do you choose a head chain to suit your face shape?

For a round face, favour a fine head chain with a curb chain link or an elongated design. These models visually lengthen your face, giving a more oval effect. Head chains set with fine stones draw the eye downwards, which gives the cheeks a slimmer look.

If your face is square, choose a jewelled headband with soft curves, such as a diadem with rounded lines or a delicate filigree. This softens the strong angles of your jaw. The handcrafted making gives meticulous details that fit your shape perfectly.

For an oval face, you can wear almost any style. A tiara or a maang tikka in a gold-tone finish will show off your symmetry without weighing you down. Think of a light weight for the best comfort all day.

On a long face, prefer a head chain with wide links or a model decorated with pearl-effect beads placed horizontally. They break up the elongated effect and balance your silhouette elegantly. The adjustable length is essential so that the jewellery fits without pulling.

We help you find the right hair accessory, one that enhances your natural beauty while respecting the unique shape of your face.

On which occasions can you wear a head chain?

A head chain turns a simple look into a real party outfit thanks to its refined details. We particularly recommend it for weddings, whether for the bride, the bridesmaids or even the young guests. A wedding is not the only moment that shows off this jewellery: at a festival, a head chain with colourful stone settings instantly gives a boho, original style.

If you want to stand out at a birthday or a themed evening, this head jewel gives a perfect balance between chic and creativity, effortlessly. At the start of the school year or for a simple tea party, our fine-link models bring a discreet touch that appeals even to the youngest. At a photo shoot, wearing a forehead chain accentuates the features of the face and helps create unique portraits, inspired by star looks or princesses.

For carnival or a costume party, choose a tiara-style model or one inspired by the oriental style for a real wow effect. In everyday life, the light-weight and curb-chain version lets you enhance a simple hairstyle without weighing down your head, including at school or in the office. Thanks to the adjustable length and the discreet clasp, you can change style in two minutes, going from relaxed to the refinement of a big occasion.

To complete a boho outfit at a brunch or on a country walk, think of pairing a pretty flower crown with your head chain to accentuate the softness of your look. Find our whole selection of hair jewellery here if you want other hair accessory inspiration for every wish.
