Ancient hair accessories

Ancient hair accessories have a rich and enduring history, dating back to civilisations like ancient Rome and ancient Egypt. In those times, these accessories served dual purposes – to secure hair and showcase exquisite craftsmanship.

Made from precious metals, carved wood, or organic materials, these pieces were all the rage, symbolising social status and style. Historically women adorned their hair with silver hairpins, feathers, ornaments, wigs and pearls, exemplifying the fusion of practicality and aesthetics.
