Perfectly Sized

Drugstore hair ties are unattractive on every wrist. Sometimes they’re so tight they hurt! We wear hair ties like bracelets; why aren’t they sized like bracelets? Jealous Helen is the first to offer three sizes to keep you comfortable. No more ugly, painful cinch marks around your wrist! And, our innovative Ringlets skip the wrist altogether. Check out our sizing guide here.

Why pearls?

Genuine pearls represent the gift of time. With time, something undesirable can evolve into something precious. Jealous Helen focuses on baroque pearls, with unique striations and dimples, inclusions and bumps instead of prizing large spheres. Plastic or glass can duplicate perfect pearls, but our natural pearls symbolize the authentic beauty of imperfection. It also keeps our pieces in a more affordable price range, so you can feel good wearing them every day.

Damage Control Redefined

You actually shouldn’t have to suffer to feel beautiful! At Jealous Helen we obsess over pulled roots, breakage and creases. What did we learn? First, ditch cheap charms, wide gaps and weak prongs. Our charms are real demi-fine jewelry, and tested to meet our anti-snag standards. Second, for hair ties, be choosy with your elastic. Pick the size your hairstyle requires, and avoid knots or unnecessary coils that trap strands of hair. Third, relax! A gentle hold is often what you need for the moment, not extra tension.
