Hair jewelry, or sometimes called hair ornaments, have been around as long as all kinds of jewelry. In the late seventh century to the early nineteenth century they became popular in Western cultures (they had been popular far longer in Eastern cultures). Today, they range from tiarras, barretts, hair pins, ribbons, head bands, jaws, claws and chignons. Whether you're going to the city pool or to an inaugural ball, hair jewelry can be functional and fun!
