• Powder Head Stamens – Our general range of powder head stamens with an average head size of 2-3mm and various colours. All powdered head stamens are made from a type of powdered sticky rice flour mixture and then coloured.
• Pearl Head Stamens – The most common type of stamens easily found in shops, also known as pearlised stamens.

History of Flower Stamens

The history of stamens goes a very long way back, almost 200 years where stamens were mainly used for millinery craft in the Victorian era and popular in the 18th and 19th century.

Nowadays, there are many different types and sizes of stamens available in the market, including micro tiny heads, seed-like pips, berry style, fantasy stamens and even glittery types.

In the 50’s and ’60s, multi-coloured lollipop stamens and some odd-shaped fantasy stamens were a trend that is no longer used nowadays; therefore, they are considered vintage stamens.

For stamens, anything above 50 years is classified as vintage, but in actual, the term ‘vintage’ is above 100 years, the term ‘antique’ is 50 years and above, while the term ‘classic’ is 25 years and above.
