Head jewelry refers to any type of adornment that is worn on the head or hair. It can range from simple hair accessories like barrettes and hair bands, to more elaborate pieces like crowns, tiaras, and headdresses. Head jewelry can be made from a variety of materials including metal, plastic, fabric, feathers, and beads.

Crowns and Tiaras: Crowns are typically seen as symbols of power and sovereignty, and are often associated with royalty. They can be made from metal or fabric and often feature gems, diamonds, and other precious stones. Tiaras are similar to crowns but tend to be more decorative and are typically worn by women for special occasions such as weddings or balls.

 

Headbands: Headbands are simple, circular bands that are worn around the forehead. They can be made from metal, plastic, fabric, or a combination of materials, and are often decorated with gems, beads, or other adornments.

Turban: A turban is a type of headwrap that is popular in many parts of the world, particularly in the Middle East and India. It is made from a long piece of fabric that is wrapped around the head and can be decorated with coins, beads, or other adornments.

Veils: Veils are pieces of fabric that are worn over the head and face and are often associated with religious or cultural customs. They can range from simple, transparent pieces to more elaborate, decorative veils that are adorned with lace or other adornments.

Hairpins and Barrettes: Hairpins and barrettes are simple hair accessories that are used to hold hair in place. They can be made from metal or plastic and come in a variety of shapes and sizes.

Overall, head jewelry serves as a form of personal expression and can add a touch of elegance and glamour to any outfit.
