Well, my artist has done it again!
Liz's friend suggested she might try making these "ear cuffs" for those who do not have pierced ears.
They also are a popular wedding accessory.

Having wire wrapped for many years she took this idea and ran with it!
This is her first finished piece!
It sold in less than an hour on her Etsy shop!
How cool is that!

Has she thought about hair spirals? My understanding is that they're a Nordic invention, but that could be incorrect. Anywho, they're a small spiral of metal (which of course can be flat and embossed, round, heavy wire, plain, beaded, etc,  but are best made from a half or dead-hard metal, or carved from wood or bone), and they're used to spiral the hair into, to keep it out of your face, yet hanging down. I've made a few of heavy copper wire, with beaded dangles... I'll see if I can find some pics of what I'm talking about, to see if the idea might interest her, because I think they'd be right up her alley. (Edited to add: here's a wire-wrapped one; https://www.etsy.com/listing/1183322897/metal-hair-accessories-silver-copper-or?gpla=1&gao=1&=&utm_custom1=_k_10f8ca5930d017bf9b5ea970ccef9837_k_&utm_custom2=319339185&msclkid=10f8ca5930d017bf9b5ea970ccef9837)

I bought a tiny one like this, in embossed sterling silver, years and years ago. If I find it, I'll take a pic, but this ought to give an idea of what I meant with that type: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1235352494/light-pink-hair-spiral-hair-twist?click_key=e0929d19b95e9621e78e4af270c86b3d69988c63%3A1235352494&click_sum=5a2e245f&ref=landingpage_similar_listing_bot-1

That is gorgeous work! So ethereal looking! Makes me think of elves, speaking of which, I've seen several ear cuffs that were made to look like elf ears. Could be popular, what with the new Lord of the Rings series out. Plus they're just fun for kids of all ages.

Love Carla's suggestion too. Keeping my hair out of my way without needing hair elastics any longer is on my list of things to achieve and I imagine that might be true for other permie folks as well.
 
I have never sensed the force being as strong as in this tiny ad:
