Head covering mermaid Luuk

The mermaid Luuk headpiece is a crown of turquoise shells with a gold-coloured patina, set with pearls and whimsical gold branches. The branches are the most striking feature, jutting diagonally above the shells like coral and making the crown wider than your head. The headpiece is designed for women dressing as a mermaid for carnival or a themed party.

Shells, pearls and gold-coloured branches on the crown

• The fan-shaped shells are turquoise with a golden haze over the ridges, while the small conch shells between them are entirely gold-coloured.
• White pearls are scattered among the shells, from the ends to around the central shell.
• The front rises in the centre, with the largest shell at the top and progressively smaller shells on either side.
• The inside is lightly padded, with a black band at the ends that runs around the back of your head.
• The material is 100% polypropylene (PP).
• Hand-wash the headpiece, do not bleach with chlorine, do not tumble dry, and do not iron or steam.
• You will receive the headpiece only.

How does a shell crown differ from a regular headband?

A shell crown differs from a regular headband in that it stands high above the forehead and is adorned all around, rather than being a narrow band with a single ornament. In folklore, a mermaid is a sea creature, half woman and half fish, and is often depicted as the queen of the sea with shells and coral in her hair. This crown brings together exactly those images: scallop shells, conch shells, pearls and branches reminiscent of coral. Choose it if you want your headpiece to tell the sea theme itself, even if your costume remains simple otherwise.

A complete mermaid outfit centred around the shell crown

Build a mermaid look around the colours of the crown: turquoise and gold. A mermaid dress or a long skirt with a blue or green scale print complements this, while a pearl necklace echoes the pearls among the shells. Long, wavy hair, whether your own or from a wig, falls between the branches over your shoulders. With blue-green eye makeup and a few rhinestones around your eyes, you extend the sea theme to your face.
