I already had an all silver feather, but this one with diamonds crossed my path right at the beginning of the year. My first purchase of 2019: [ATTACH=full]222027[/ATTACH] These were once worn with the Dutch Frisian costume as part of a forehead decoration. After WWII many were sold as scrap, but Niekerk, a manufacturer in Schoonhoven (Dutch silver town), managed to save quite a few. Most were turned into brooches.
