The Sentinel Pin

Hand-Forged Steel Hair Pin

Strength you can wear.

The Sentinel Pin is individually hand-forged in our shop in Rutherfordton, North Carolina. Designed to secure a bun or updo with confidence, this solid steel hair pin blends elegance with undeniable strength.

Each piece is shaped at the anvil, textured by hand, and tapered for a secure hold. Twists, scrolls, and subtle hammer marks reflect the forge and the hands that shaped them.

No two are identical.

Crafted by Hand

Each Sentinel Pin is:

• Hand-forged from solid steel
• Individually shaped and textured
• Tapered for secure, all-day hold
• Heat-treated and oil-quenched for durability and natural rust resistance
• Made in Rutherfordton, NC

The oil-quenched finish helps protect the steel while preserving the rich, forged character of the metal.

Strength & Confidence

Inspired by traditional forged hair tools, The Sentinel Pin is built to hold thick or long hair securely without bending or breaking.

Its solid construction offers more than beauty — it carries weight, presence, and quiet reassurance. A subtle reminder that strength and elegance can exist in the same piece.
