🌙 Thorned Moon Diadem

(Mystical circlet of power inspired by lunar magic and dark elegance)

The Thorned Moon Diadem features a crescent moon centerpiece nestled among curling thorns and arcane filigree. Designed to sit elegantly across the forehead, this headpiece blends celestial grace with shadowy edge — perfect for dark elves, priestesses of the night, or powerful moon-wielding characters.

📏 Measuring Instructions
To ensure the diadem fits properly, take the following measurements:

Forehead Circumference: Measure around your head just above the eyebrows and ears (where a crown or diadem would sit)

Center Height: Measure from the center of the forehead upward to estimate how tall the moon/thorn crest can be comfortably

Side Span: Measure from temple to temple across the front of your head

Use your slicer to adjust scaling based on these proportions, or scale down for miniature/doll use.

💡 Hairdryer Fit Tip: Use a hairdryer or heat gun on low to gently adjust the curve of the diadem for a snug fit to the forehead.
