More Howling Moon headpieces…
Elva Headdress
Handmade in the UK by Howling Moon
Elva doesn't sit above the head like a traditional crown.
Fine metallic branches sweep around it, meeting at the forehead where a genuine gemstone becomes the centre of the design.
Our studio sample combines soft gold with moonstone, but Elva can also be created with rose quartz, labradorite or amethyst, and in silver or copper metal finishes.
The result is part crown, part circlet and something that feels as though it belongs to an entirely different world.
The Feeling
Elva is otherworldly.
There are echoes of ancient adornment in the way she follows the head and places the stone centrally against the forehead, but the delicate branching metalwork takes her somewhere firmly into fantasy.
She's not a princess tiara.
She's not quite a woodland crown either.
Elva feels like something worn for a ceremony whose traditions we've forgotten.
An heirloom from a place that doesn't exist.
For the person who doesn't merely want to look alternative on their wedding day, but slightly as though they've arrived from another realm.
Features
Elven-inspired bridal forehead circlet
Genuine natural gemstone centrepiece
Delicate branching metalwork
Choice of four gemstones
Available in silver, soft gold or copper
Lightweight head-following silhouette
Natural stone variations make each piece individual
Handmade to order in the UK by Howling Moon
Our studio sample is soft gold with moonstone
Gemstone Options
Moonstone — pale, luminous and beautifully ethereal
Rose Quartz — softly pink and translucent
Labradorite — darker, with naturally shifting flashes of colour
Amethyst — violet quartz bringing a richer point of colour
Because every gemstone is natural, colour, markings, translucency and shape will vary slightly from piece to piece.
Metal Options
Choose from:
Silver
Soft Gold
Copper
Our soft gold and moonstone sample is perhaps Elva at her most ethereal, while copper can push the same design somewhere warmer and more ancient.
Styling Elva
Elva deserves to be treated differently from a conventional crown.
The forehead detail looks incredible with centre-parted loose hair, soft waves, braids or styles that leave the front of the head relatively uncluttered.
And don't be afraid to wear her with a veil.
The contrast between an unmistakably bridal veil and an elven-style circlet is precisely what can make the whole look feel like yours rather than like costume.
Natural Gemstones
The stone is an important part of Elva's character, and natural variation is expected.
Rather than trying to make every piece identical, Howling Moon allows those differences in colour, markings and formation to remain visible.
It means the Elva you receive will be uniquely yours.
Handmade to Order
Each Elva headdress is individually handmade to order in the UK by Howling Moon using genuine natural gemstones.
Current production time is approximately 4–6 weeks. If you're working to a shorter timescale, please contact us before ordering and we'll let you know what may be possible.
Elodie Crown
Handmade in the UK by Howling Moon
Elodie is built around one material: moonstone.
Natural moonstones sit amongst delicate branching metalwork, following the head in an organic woodland silhouette rather than rising into the structure of a traditional tiara.
Our studio sample pairs moonstone with antique silver, giving Elodie a beautifully pale, quiet quality, but she can also be created in bright gold, antique brass or antique copper.
The design is also available with natural labradorite as her darker sister, Luna.
The Feeling
Elodie feels like moonlight through bare branches.
She's quieter than many of the Howling Moon designs. There are no enormous crystal points or elaborate flowers competing for attention — just pale natural stones held amongst delicate metalwork.
Witchy without being theatrical. Woodland without being leafy. Ethereal without disappearing into conventional bridal prettiness.
For someone who wants their magic whispered rather than announced.
Features
Ethereal moonstone bridal crown
Genuine natural moonstone
Organic branching metalwork
Choice of four metal finishes
Each natural stone varies slightly
Handmade to order in the UK by Howling Moon
Our studio sample is antique silver with moonstone
Also available in natural labradorite as the Luna Crown
Moonstone
Elodie is available exclusively with natural moonstone.
Because moonstone is a natural material, individual stones will vary in translucency, markings, colour and the way they respond to light.
Those variations mean no two Elodie crowns will ever be completely identical.
Metal Options
Choose from:
Antique Silver
Bright Gold
Antique Brass
Antique Copper
Antique silver gives Elodie her coolest, most moonlit character, while brass, copper and gold bring warmth to the same pale stones.
Elodie or Luna?
Elodie and Luna share the same beautiful branching design but use different natural gemstones.
Choose Elodie for the softer luminosity of moonstone.
Choose Luna for labradorite and its darker colour with flashes of shifting light.
Same silhouette. Completely different atmosphere.
Handmade to Order
Each Elodie crown is individually handmade to order in the UK by Howling Moon using natural moonstone.
Current production time is approximately 4–6 weeks.
Verdant Indie Crown
Handmade in the UK by Howling Moon
Verdant Indie feels like the forest in full growth.
Natural quartz points rise between sweeping metallic branches and clusters of leaves, creating an organic woodland crown that feels abundant without becoming heavy or overly formal.
Similar in spirit to our Dusk Indie crown, Verdant has a fuller botanical silhouette, with its distinctive leaf detailing giving the impression of foliage growing upwards and around the stones.
Choose green quartz for the deepest woodland version, pink hematite for something softer and stranger, or Purple AB quartz for an iridescent finish that shifts as it catches the light.
Each crown is handmade using organic stones, so the exact shapes and arrangement will naturally vary. No two will be completely identical — exactly as we'd expect from something inspired by the wild.
The Feeling
If Dusk belongs to the forest as the light begins to disappear, Verdant belongs to the moment everything starts growing back.
Leaves unfurl around raw stone. Branches reach upwards. Nothing is particularly interested in growing neatly.
There's something ancient about her, but also very alive.
Green quartz with antique brass pushes Verdant deep into enchanted-woodland territory, while brighter metals and iridescent stones can transform the same crown into something altogether more ethereal.
She's for the person who wants botanical bridalwear without prettiness being the whole point.
Wild, rooted and gloriously overgrown.
Features
Ethereal woodland bridal crown
Natural quartz stone points
Branch and leaf detailing
Fuller botanical silhouette
Choice of three stone finishes
Choice of four metal finishes
Organic stones make every crown subtly individual
Handmade to order in the UK by Howling Moon
Beautiful for woodland, pagan, ethereal, fantasy and alternative bridal styling
Stone Options
Green Quartz
Rich and earthy, bringing out everything woodland about Verdant. Paired with antique brass or copper, it feels particularly organic and almost ancient.
Pink Hematite
A softer and more unexpected option, bringing warmth to the botanical structure without making the crown feel conventionally bridal.
Purple AB Quartz
Quartz with an iridescent finish that shifts through purple and rainbow tones as it catches the light. This is Verdant at her most otherworldly.
Because the stones are organic, their exact size, shape, texture and formation will vary from crown to crown.
That's part of their character, not something we're trying to standardise away.
Metal Options
Verdant Indie is available in:
Bright Gold
Bright Silver
Antique Brass
Antique Copper
Bright metals bring out Verdant's lighter, more ethereal side, while antique brass and copper emphasise the woodland quality of the branches and foliage.
Changing the combination of stone and metal can completely change her character.
Styling Verdant
Verdant looks particularly beautiful woven into textured hair, loose waves, braids and relaxed updos, where the branching silhouette can feel almost as though it's growing through the hair.
The stronger leaf detail also makes her a lovely choice alongside dresses with botanical lace, flowing chiffon and softer, organic silhouettes.
But as always, we don't believe your headpiece needs to be assigned to your dress.
If Verdant is the one that feels like yours, that's enough.
Wearing Verdant With a Veil
Verdant's open structure allows the leaves and quartz points to remain visible against soft tulle, making her an unexpectedly beautiful partner for a veil.
Wear the veil behind the crown to create softness and scale without hiding the organic silhouette.
Natural Stones
Howling Moon creates Verdant using organic stone points, which means every finished crown will vary slightly from the photographs.
Individual stones may differ in shape, size, texture and colour, and the overall silhouette may therefore have tiny variations too.
We think that's exactly how a crown like Verdant should be.
Nature isn't particularly interested in making two things identical either.
Handmade in the UK
Each Verdant Indie headpiece is individually handmade to order in the UK by Howling Moon.
Current production time is approximately 4–6 weeks. If you're working to a shorter timescale, please contact us before ordering and we'll let you know what may be possible.
Dusk Venus Crown
Handmade in the UK by Howling Moon
Dusk Venus lets the stones do the talking.
Large crystal points rise around the head in a simple, striking silhouette, their raw, irregular shapes giving the crown an organic quality that feels worlds away from the symmetry and polish of a traditional bridal tiara.
Choose black titanium quartz for something dark and dramatic, clear rock crystal for a lighter, almost icy ethereal finish, or pink hematite for something softer and altogether more unexpected.
Because these are natural stones, no two crowns will ever be completely identical. The size, shape and formation of the individual points will vary, making those differences part of the finished piece rather than something to be disguised.
The Feeling
Dusk Venus feels elemental.
There are no flowers winding between the stones and no elaborate architecture competing for attention. Just raw crystal rising from the head like something formed rather than decorated.
In black titanium quartz, she becomes dark, powerful and almost volcanic.
In clear rock crystal, the same silhouette feels otherworldly and luminous.
And pink hematite takes her somewhere else again — strange, romantic and a little unexpected.
She's for the person who wants a statement crown but finds traditional bridal sparkle far too polished.
Less jewellery. More geological treasure.
Features
Statement raw crystal bridal crown
Large natural stone points
Organic silhouette created by naturally varying stones
Choice of three stone finishes
Choice of five metal finishes
Handmade in the UK by Howling Moon
Each crown will be naturally individual
Perfect for gothic, ethereal, witchy, pagan, fantasy and alternative bridal styling
Stone Options
Black Titanium Quartz
Dark quartz points with an intense metallic quality. This is Dusk Venus at her moodiest: dramatic, striking and unapologetically alternative.
Clear Rock Crystal
Natural clear quartz gives the crown an entirely different character. Light catches through the irregular points, creating something raw and earthy that can still feel incredibly ethereal.
Pink Hematite
A softer, warmer alternative to black or clear, bringing an unusual rosy metallic quality to the crown without turning it into conventional bridal prettiness.
As natural materials, the stones will vary in size, shape, clarity, texture and colour. Your crown will therefore be uniquely yours.
Metal Options
Dusk Venus can be made in:
Bright Gold
Bright Silver
Antique Brass
Black
Antique Copper
This is another one where I think the combination matters enormously.
Black + black titanium quartz gives you the full dark ritual crown.
Bright silver + clear rock crystal takes exactly the same design somewhere much more icy and ethereal.
Antique brass/copper + clear crystal would feel wonderfully archaeological — almost like something old that's been dug out of the earth.
And pink hematite + antique copper could be absolutely gorgeous.
Styling Dusk Venus
Because the silhouette is so clean, Dusk Venus can take quite a lot happening around her.
Against chiffon, lace or layers of texture, those raw points give the softness something harder to play against. With a simpler gown, the crown itself becomes the statement.
She also doesn't need an elaborate hairstyle. Loose waves, braids, textured updos or something deliberately simple all allow the natural crystal formation to remain the focus.
Wearing Dusk Venus With a Veil
The strong, open silhouette of Dusk Venus works beautifully against soft tulle.
A veil worn behind the crown gives the stones a beautifully simple backdrop and lets their irregular shapes remain visible rather than disappearing into other embellishment.
Natural Stones
The character of Dusk Venus comes from the fact that nature doesn't produce identical crystal points.
Every crown will vary slightly from the photographs and from the next one made. Stones may differ in shape, size, texture and clarity.
We don't consider those differences flaws.
They're the reason to choose a crown made with natural stone in the first placehtweight despite its elaborate silhouette.
Handmade to Order
Each Dusk Venus headpiece is individually handmade to order in the UK by Howling Moon.
Current production time is approximately 4–6 weeks. If you're working to a shorter timescale, please contact us before ordering and we'll let you know what may be possible.
