<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 243467, member: 2844&quot;]Nice story about how the necklaces &#039;grow&#039; as you get older. And I still think your necklace is beautiful.</p><p>Coral necklaces were a must in many parts of The Netherlands. They are considered to be good against anemia, so good for many women.</p><p>Tomorrow I will take a picture of a coral and gold necklace that came down through my family.</p><p>The decoration on the girls head is called &#039;oorijzer&#039;. It goes around the head and is used to secure the hat so it isn&#039;t blown away in those strong coastal winds. The metal has holes for gold pins that also pass through the lace hat. The gold screws are part of the oorijzer, the cloverleaf shapes are pendants called &#039;mutsebellen&#039;.</p><p>Different areas have different styles, this is like the one the girl is wearing, but with a different decoration:</p><p><img src="https://s14-eu5.ixquick.com/cgi-bin/serveimage?url=http%3A%2F%2Ft0.gstatic.com%2Fimages%3Fq%3Dtbn%3AANd9GcTzTSK-UesNHwPQumwYfuZkekaiF6AtnSei0OgU8wDjiIXBhEm5&amp;sp=c08ff77517d416fc2cffc60d83377dcb&amp;anticache=346134" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Here is one from the north of the country:</p><p><img src="https://s14-eu5.ixquick.com/cgi-bin/serveimage?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.goedopstreek.nl%2FSite%2FOorijzers_files%2Fshapeimage_2.png&amp;sp=68defa026836138d80bd16d0b7843a93" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="https://s14-eu5.ixquick.com/cgi-bin/serveimage?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpinsndls.files.wordpress.com%2F2012%2F12%2Feariron4.jpg%3Fw%3D273%26amp%3Bh%3D300&amp;sp=60b33fbd907f47b952043cf8d7c33e96" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
