Did I put a bracelet in my hair? Yes?and no. Gemtye is a super-cool company that manufactures hair ties that double as decorative jewelry. It’s one of those concepts that makes you want to kick yourself, wondering why you didn’t think of that.

If you’ve ever taken a beautiful photo where you looked amazing and you were having a great hair day, only to realize your black hair tie is glaringly obvious, then Gemtye is for you.

There’s nothing worse than being at the river and wanting to go in the water, but no having a hair tie to keep your hair from becoming a rat’s nest, or a hot summer day where all you want in the world is your hair off your neck and nothing to hold it back with.

This way, you can accessorize your outfits with a cute, simple bracelet, and then stick it in your hair for a hair tie that also adds some flair. Form meets function, voila.

My favorite Gemtye is the Goldilocks Evil Eye. I feel like it really stands out, and is unique.

I like to use my black onyx tie for ponytails and for braids. This green onyx pyramid doesn’t go with everything, but when it does match an outfit, it adds a great pop of color.

Next, I want to try the rose gold disc, because the light brown color matches my blonde hair better.
