Padded Faux Pearl Headband

The Padded Faux Pearl Headband is our answer to the jeweled bandeaus of the Jazz Age: a rounded, cushioned band covered from tip to tip with faux pearls in mixed sizes, packed so tightly the base vanishes. Each shade carries faux pearls dyed to match the band, so the effect stays rich rather than busy. It sits at the heart of our pearl headbands range.

How Our Padded Headband Is Put Together

Under the faux pearls is a soft padded base that gives the band its puffy, crown-like profile. The underside is lined with smooth fabric, cream on the lighter shades and dark on the black one,. It measures about 1.2 in (3 cm) across, with a perimeter of about 15 in (38 cm), and weighs roughly 3.5 oz (100 g), enough weight to feel like jewelry.

Picking a Shade for a Padded Faux Pearl Headband

Black, with black faux pearls, is the evening choice for sequins and dark velvet. White reads as a soft ivory and suits brides and wedding guests. Gray leans silver and flatters charcoal or champagne dresses. Pink is a gentle blush for showers and proms, and red runs toward raspberry, which we like with black lace or a holiday party dress. Pink and black each have their own page.

Padded Headband FAQ

Is a padded headband comfortable for a whole party?

The fabric lining keeps the faux pearls off your scalp. If it presses behind the ears, wear it slightly further back on the crown.

Does it work with short hair or a bob?

Yes. A wide band frames a bob nicely when worn about an inch behind the hairline; with finger waves, set it further back.

Is the red a true red?

It leans raspberry, a cool berry red rather than a fire-engine shade. It looks best with black or ivory.
