Each compartment is filled with blue-green enamel paste, then fired and polished smooth. The design includes a red agate ruyi (auspicious scepter) motif, with turquoise accents on the ruyi, red jadeite set within the blue areas, and freshwater pearls encircling the pattern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wood shaft is hand-carved to fit the cloisonné topper seamlessly. The gold-plated copper outlines catch light, while the enamel retains a slight translucency that deepens with wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Black Sandalwood\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlack sandalwood (Dalbergia fusca) is a dense hardwood native to Yunnan, China. It has a fine, even grain and a natural dark brown to black color, sometimes with subtle red streaks. The wood is naturally fragrant, with a mild, sweet scent that persists for years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause this is a natural material, each stick will show slight variations in grain and color. Small tool marks or minor asymmetry are not defects — they indicate handwork. The cloisonné enamel may also have tiny air bubbles or color shifts, which are characteristic of the firing process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFit \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis stick suits all hair volumes, including very thick and heavy hair, thanks to the rigid sandalwood shaft. It works best for hair at least armpit length; shorter hair may not wrap securely.

Avoid water, perfume, and hairspray. Store in a dry place. Do not drop — the cloisonné topper can chip on hard surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Hair Sticks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48367156232449,"sku":"6035732580697","price":64.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0623\/0232\/2945\/files\/133f902a8a2cccf967b48bc67ab29993.jpg?v=1775205634","url":"https:\/\/thehairsticks.com\/en-ca\/products\/black-sandalwood-hair-stick-with-cloisonn-and-gemstones","provider":"The Hair Sticks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
