Black Faux Pearl Headband

The Black Faux Pearl Headband is the darkest piece in our pearl headbands family, and the most dramatic. Glossy black faux pearls in mixed sizes cover a thick, rounded band, and even the underside and tips are wrapped in black fabric, so nothing pale breaks the line.

Wearing a Black Headband Like an Evening Crown

Because the band is padded and rounded, it sits high on the head and catches light along its full curve, much like a small crown. It measures about 1.2 in (3 cm) across, with a perimeter near 15 in (38 cm), and weighs about 3.5 oz (100 g). We pair it with a black sequin flapper dress and long satin gloves for New Year's Eve, or with a velvet wrap dress for a night at the theatre.

Black Faux Pearl Headband for Masquerades and Halloween

Its gothic edge makes it a strong partner for a lace mask at a masquerade ball, or for a dark 1920s costume at Halloween. On blonde, red or gray hair it stands out sharply; on black hair it melts into the hairline and the shine of the faux pearls does the work. Keep jewelry simple: silver-tone drops or jet-black studs.

Black Headband FAQ

Are the faux pearls glossy or matte?

Glossy. Each one has a high shine, which is what makes the band read as jewelry rather than fabric under evening light.

Does it come with a comb or clips?

No, it is the headband alone and grips with its curve. On fine or slippery hair, add two bobby pins behind the ears.

What makeup suits a black headband?

A deep red or plum lip and a soft smoky eye echo its 1920s mood. Keep the brows defined so the band does not overpower the face.
