The Head Band is a modern version of the Old Dutch 'Oorijzer' [Ear Iron]. The ear iron was part of the costume for women in the Netherlands from the 16th century. Initially, the ear iron was a metal bracket to keep the hats in place. Over time the ear iron grew into a showpiece, gold plates or curls, framing the head of the women.
This beautiful headpiece can be worn in multiple ways, as a headband or choker.
