Diadem mermaid shells

The mermaid shell headband is a headband with a crown of white-and-red striped shells, pointed whelk shells, and a border of white pearls. It instantly evokes the underwater world: a mermaid wearing the treasures of the seabed in her hair. Wear it as a woman or girl for a luau, beach party, or costume party with an underwater theme.

Shells, pearls, and beads up close

• Three large white scallop shells with dark red stripes form the base of the crown.
• Pointed whelk shells stand diagonally upwards between the scallop shells.
• A row of white pearls runs along the top edge of the shells.
• At the base of the crown are gold and green beads, with a few sparkling stones among them.
• The crown sits on a narrow, silver-colored band that slides into your hair.
• The headband is designed for women and girls.

How does a shell crown differ from a flat decorated headband?

A shell crown stands out above your hair, while a flat decorated headband largely disappears into your hairstyle. On the mermaid shell headband, the scallop shells and whelk shells stand upright, so the silhouette remains visible, even with a full or long wig. Choose it, therefore, if you want your mermaid look to be recognizable from a distance. Shells and pearls have traditionally been associated with the mermaid from stories and fairy tales, the creature that is half woman and half fish.

A mermaid at the luau or beach party

At a luau, the shell crown stands out best above long, wavy hair in blue or green, for example a long wig in sea colors. Add a flower lei around your neck and choose a shiny or glittery top, then your underwater look will match the tropical theme. At a beach party, slide the band just behind your hairline, so the crown sits straight above your forehead. Girls also like to wear it for a costume party with an underwater theme.
