A finial for a curtain rod includes a first finial base portion configured to surround a portion of a curtain rod and a second finial base portion configured to surround another portion of the curtain rod and to mate with the first finial base portion. An interface between the mating first and second finial base portions defines a parting line. A retaining member is engaged with the first finial base portion and movable between a first position, wherein the retaining member does not span the parting line and does not engage the second finial base portion, and a second position, wherein the retaining member spans the parting line and engages the second finial base portion.
