Description
Wire Crown in Aluminium: ARMOR by REPIOR®
ARMOR is a wire crown formed by hand in light aluminium wire. It is worn over the head and secured in the hair, drawing a pattern of fine metal lines that frame the crown and catch the light as you move.
It recalls the helmets of old legends, rebuilt in a fraction of the weight and worn for joy instead of war.
Ceremonial, but never heavy.

A Crown Built Like Armour
ARMOR is ornament as protection, a small shield worn by choice. On the head, it becomes a kind of crown: a structure that guards and decorates at once, and gives the wearer a certain bearing.
In our studio, each line is shaped from aluminium wire by hand and joined into the finished head piece, then checked so it sits evenly and lightly on the head.
Colours
- Colour: Gold, Silver

How to Wear It
Place the piece on the head and settle it into position, then secure it in the hair, using hair grips if needed, adjusting until the lines fall evenly. Wear it over loose hair, a braid or an updo. To remove, release the grips first and lift the piece away gently so it does not catch.
Materials
- Aluminium wire, formed by hand
- Very light and nickel-free
- Gold or silver colour
Every line is drawn by hand, so every head piece is a little different. This is the material, not a flaw.

Care Instructions
Remove before washing your hair, swimming or sleeping. Spray hairspray and perfume before putting the piece on, not after. Wipe the aluminium dry and store it flat, where it will not be crushed or tangled. For sensitive skin, read our guide to hypoallergenic metals in body jewellery.
Packaging
ARMOR arrives in signature REPIOR® packaging: considered, already a gift, with a REPIOR Certificate of Authenticity.
Why a Wire Crown?
A wire crown gives ceremony without weight. In aluminium it stays light and nickel-free, so it can be worn from the first photograph to the last dance.
It is for brides who would rather not wear a veil, for festival mornings, for performers, and for anyone who has ever wished their hair could wear jewellery too.
Questions
How does it stay in place?
ARMOR is secured in the hair, then adjusted with your fingers until the lines fall evenly. For a long day, such as a wedding, a couple of hair grips in a matching colour hold it even more securely.
Is it heavy?
No. ARMOR is made of anodised aluminium wire, which is nickel-free and very light, so it can be worn for hours without pulling on the hair.
Can I wear it at my wedding?
Yes. ARMOR suits brides, bridesmaids and guests, alone or with flowers in the hair. Choose gold or silver to match your other jewellery.
Is it a good gift?
Yes. There is no size to guess, and ARMOR arrives in signature REPIOR® packaging with a Certificate of Authenticity, ready to give. Our gift guide has more ideas.
