Head-Turning Hair Accessories That Were Created By Jewelry Designers

It’s high time to elevate your hair accessory game beyond hair ties, bobby pins and banana clips.

Though jewelry usually bedecks our ears, necks, fingers and wrists, there are a few bauble designers who are now making creations for your hair -- and they’re not your run-of-the-mill barrettes. In fact, the result is a magical mix of fashion and functionality. These awesome pieces of hair jewelry can serve as quick fixes for a bad hair day, or to upgrade your look for all those weddings you'll be attending this summer. And these stunning accessories are far too beautiful to be put in the same box as a scrunchie or a headband.
