What's next? Medieval scrunchies?
I'll preface this by saying I am a history geek and spend my free time looking at museum collection websites... I like getting inspiration for new jewelry from ancient designs. So, in any case, I was browsing the hair accessories aisle at Fred Meyer today and noticed something familiar...
And this is from the British Museum's collection. Listed as a "hair ring" from around 600 BC Italy, probably Etruscan.
So pretty much the Etruscans invented spin-pins?
