Pop on a Propalis crown...

Good afternoon gentle readers. Sorry things have gotten away from us posting wise recently but real life has been taking precedence.

No matter how hard things are, it’s always wise to try and hold your head high and keep looking for the brightness of happier times ahead. Having said that, It’s always easier to keep your head high if you have popped a crown on it.

Just look at these glorious creations from New York company Epona Valley

“TAKING INSPIRATION FROM MUSEUMS AND A LIFE LIVED IN NEW YORK, DESIGNER RACHEL GITTLER HANDCRAFTS EACH HEADPIECE INTO A WEARABLE WORK OF ART.”

Above and below is the Propalis Crown, is 14K gold plated from the Valley of the Birds and the Bees, for all the bee lovers, a whispering scene of dancing bumbles pays homage to these hard-working bees…

Epona Valley is a NYC luxury hair accessory brand with a modern take on heirloom style; showcasing nature inspired, museum worthy pieces. Each piece is handmade by artisans in New York City.

A valley endless of leaves, flowers, birds, and creatures. Theircraftsmanship is unparalleled with nature inspired pieces cast from real branches and every Swarovski stone set by hand. Materials are locally sourced and they pride themselves on their ‘made in NYC’ foundation. Each and every single piece is made by the hand of an artisan using only quality materials such as brass, 14K gold plating, silver plating, silks, leathers, and Swarovski stones.

Rachel Celia Gittler is the founder and creator of Epona Valley. A New York native, Rachel started her brand in 2013 after she started creating bird headpieces for fun and was photographed by Bill Cunningham in one of her own. Her pieces garnered attention and after being offered a trunk show at Bergdorf Goodman, she knew it was her calling.
