Jewelry, also called ornaments, have been in existence since ancient times, with tweaks to design and material for the modern world. Many types of jewelry have moved from being strictly cultural pieces to being worn for aesthetics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Accessorizing with jewelry pieces can take any outfit from 0-100! People also use jewelry to showcase their personality or as a social status symbol, like married individuals who wear a wedding band. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a jewelry lover, you should know all your options, and you\u2019re at the right place to find out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What types of jewelry are there?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are different types of jewelry available. Some are common, while others are not popular. However, you may find them interesting options in your dressing. We\u2019ve categorized the jewelry types based on where you wear them on the body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Head and Hair Ornaments<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There are so many gorgeous jewelry pieces for your hair<\/a> and head. Since they\u2019re such focal points of your appearance, you should pay attention to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A crown is a traditional piece of jewelry worn on the head to symbolize royal authority. Those worn by royals of lesser ranking are called a coronet. A diadem is a type of crown worn as a symbol of royalty and typically has precious stones. It is a name used interchangeably for a tiara. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Royal symbolism aside, there is the nuptial or bridal crown a bride wears on her wedding day. This was formerly a practice by women in central and Northern Europe alone, but today, it is worn by brides worldwide to complete a princessy look for their wedding. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hairpins<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Hair pins are decorative and highly functional jewelry pieces. Women use them to keep their hair in place in a fashionable manner. They are U-shaped and can secure a large amount of hair. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A similar jewelry piece is bobby pins, which hold a smaller portion of hair and secure it tightly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The significant difference in their design is the tightness of the lower part of the bobby pins. Hair pins and bobby pins are made with metals and may have decorative pieces like pearls, glitter, and buttons attached to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Barrettes<\/h4>\n\n\n

Barrettes, also known as hair clips, are usually made from metals. They were initially two simple metals, with the metal underneath as a fastener that helps secure the hair. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These days, different decorative methods include adding fabrics for a vintage look, rhinestones for dazzle, and pearls for a classy finish. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hair Rings<\/h4>\n\n\n

Hair rings are small metal rings used for hairstyles like braids, locs, updos, and cornrows. They look similar to the rings used in piercings<\/a>. Some may be a simple metal open circle, while others may have charms or cowrie shells added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Face Jewelry<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

While there are other ways to beautify your face, facial jewelry is hard to miss. You can create a subtle or bold look based on the jewelry or combination of pieces you choose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earrings<\/h4>\n\n\n

Ear piercing<\/a> is one of the oldest forms of body piercing, and earrings have existed ever since. They decorate the ear and are made from different materials, including metals, plastic, precious stone, and beads. Earrings<\/a> come in various designs, including hoops, studs, and dangles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udca1 Take Note: Earrings usually require piercing, either on the earlobe or other part of the ear, which is called cartilage piercing. However, clip-on earrings can attach to the lobe without a need for piercing. <\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ear Cuffs<\/h4>\n\n\n

Ear cuffs are jewelry for decorating the ear, and you do not need any ear piercing to wear them. They are worn on the outer edge of the ear in a slip fashion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cuffs can make a statement with an elaborate design, but designs are available to suit any taste. Wearing ear cuffs is an easy way to imitate cartilage piercing without the commitment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
