It reminds me a little of the Indian style decorative hair jewels worn for special occasions like weddings. The head band across the top could very well be satin, couldn't it? Or perhaps the designer had somehow worked in gold threads to make the material so shiny. However it was done, it is stunning, and would look just as nice without all the shine, I think. Thanks for sharing this! :) Much joy to you with snoods and other such stuff!LisaM at ThoseHeadcoveringshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01802987214219777442noreply@blogger.com
