<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 4621618, member: 2844&quot;]The jewellery around the face is related to the wearing of an &#039;oorijzer&#039;, a (precious) metal construction around the head to fasten the lace cap. Useful in windy coastal areas.</p><p>The ends of the oorijzer are decorated, the cap is fastened to it with long decorated pins, and pendants hang from the oorijzer ends rather than from the ears, that are usually hidden underneath the lace cap.</p><p>They do wear pendants, brooches and necklaces though. Bracelets and rings too.</p><p><br /></p><p>Silver and gold oorijzer from Scheveningen, near The Hague:</p><p><img src="https://www.startpage.com/av/proxy-image?piurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.modemuze.nl%2Fsites%2Fdefault%2Ffiles%2Fstyles%2Fwysiwyg%2Fpublic%2Fimage-collection%2Fnederlands_openluchtmuseumz.33-52.jpg%3Fitok%3D1pnJPP3E&amp;sp=1668179340T75aec0753fc11a7582b19c06b27cba6455d7ede9173326cb3f4cec419e0373a3" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>A lady from West Friesland, north of Amsterdam.
