Unto Stephanie Lilburn,

Here are some links that might help:

- this one is mostly "easy read" with no useful documentaiton

For the below do a search for hairpins to get the lines you are looking 
for:

Hope this gives you a jumping point.  I would also recommend looking at 
illuminations and paintings and seeing what is decorating people's 
hair.  Also look at dig books, because hairpins are actually something 
that could have survived.
