Sparkle like a Salt & Pepper diamond in the Salt & Pepper Gumdrop Hat. The Gumdrop Hat is a structured, round beret style hat, the Salt & Pepper Gumdrop Hat features a black base entirely filled with sparkling grey/black glass rhinestones that leave only a space for the Elleni Logo at the rear of the hat. Over 2000 rhinestones are individually hand placed (by me!). Night or day, the crystals will catch every piece of light and glisten and sparkle like nothing else! During daylight they create stunning reflections and in direct sunlight you will basically become a star. There's also something particularly breath taking watching them glisten and sparkle in the night time.
The Salt & Pepper Gumdrop Hat will be made in very limited quantities as part of the Hallow-Queen Collection as it takes hours to make each one. Total amount made will not exceed 5! Each is lovingly hand crafted, so will differ slightly from the one pictured in terms of exact rhinestone placements and overall pattern of the stones. As each gem is hand placed this hat is truly a work of art so please treat it as such. Being that they are glass rhinestones, they are breakable so be aware this hat is delicate - they are also hard glass attached to a softer, pliable base so if you press too much on the hat they may pop off.
Though I will be packaging these hats with extra care, and you will be wearing yours with care - I will also be including some 'just in case' rhinestones should any mishaps occur during transit or throughout its life with you! Simply glue into the spot desired on the hat - I recommend E6000 glue for any touch ups.
Please only spot clean and be careful in the rain. Note that this hat covered in glass so is relatively heavy.

Should your Gumdrop Hat become disheveled or crushed at any point in your long, loving relationship you are able to restore its shape by steaming. Using a mannequin head or similar will also help pop back into shape post steam.
