The practice of decorating one's body or clothes can be traced back to the Paleolithic Age, the dawn of human history. Various forms of women's accessories existed since the Three Kingdom Period and it developed through the Goryeo Dynasty(AD 918-1392) in Korea. Women's accessories varied depending on one's social position. Korean accessories were influenced by the chinese Song, Yuan, and Ming Dynasties but matured into our very own characteristics. Confucian philosophy in Joseon Dynasty has prohibited the use of accessories such as necklaces, earrings, and bracelets which were worn from the ancient times but in contrast, norigae and hair ornaments were favored over other accessories.
During Joseon Dynasty(1392-1910), accessories were only worn by women of the upper class and royal concubines. Women in common status were only allowed to wear accessories during wedding ceremonies. None the less there were many ornaments to adorn women's appearances in Joseon Dynasty. Norigae (pendant), Jumoni (pouch), Karakchi (ring), Binyo (hairpin), Dwikkoji (ornamental hairpin), and Danchu (button) are some among many others that were worn by women.
