- The present invention relates to ornamental headdresses, in particular one inspired by the ferroniere. The ferroniere was a delicate jewelry item worn by women on the forehead during the 15th century and revived shortly during the 19th century around 1830. It consisted of a chain with fine links, or a textile thread, usually with a single stone in the center. The name was derived from a painting, attributed to Leonardo da Vinci, named La belle ferronière (from French: “the beautiful blacksmith's wife”) currently in the Louvre museum, Paris.
- The ferroniere was limited in its use because it was designed to be worn only across the forehead, meaning that it was just long enough to be linked together in the back so that a piece of jewelry or ornamental design would sit on the forehead. Unlike the present invention, the ferroniere could not be wound around the hair of the head to create an elaborate headdress, nor could the ends of the ferroniere lock onto the hair to create more elaborate designs. Furthermore, the ferroniere did not function to lock hair in place to assist with creating different hair styles. These limitations inhibited the potential of the ferroniere as an elaborate headdress or hair jewelry.
- The present invention is inspired by the ferroniere, and it is the objective of the present invention to expand upon the ferroniere by creating a more versatile type of head dress comprised of at least one of either a chain or band of threaded textile whose ends comprise means of attaching to the hair of the head, such as combs or clips to allow the chain or thread to create elaborate designs on the hair of the head by wrapping around the hair of the head in multiple directions and holding the hair to create various hair styles.
- The present invention is an ornamental headdress comprised of at least one chain or band of threaded textile capable of wrapping around the hair of the head in multiple directions, whose ends comprise means of attaching to the hair of the head, such as combs or clips. The comb or hair clip is capable of attaching to hair of the head at any point. The chain or band can be between 8 inches and 18 inches long.

FIG. 2 shows another embodiment of the present invention similar toFIG. 1 , but with a jewelry ornament that can rest on the hair of the head. -
FIG. 3 shows an alternate embodiment of the present invention comprised of a band of threaded textile whose ends comprise a clip capable of attaching to the hair of the head. -
FIG. 4 shows an alternate embodiment of the present invention comprised of three chains whose shared ends comprise means for attaching to the hair of the head. -
FIG. 5 shows various designs that can be formed with the present invention. [TO BE DRAWN UP]. -
FIG. 1 shows the preferred embodiment of the invention comprised of a jewelry chain and combs at each end of the chain. The combs attach to the hair of the head so that the chain can be used to create ornamental hair designs. The combs should be no longer than 3 inches long, but it is conceivable that the combs can be longer. To create various designs on the hair of the head, the chain should be at a minimum of 12 inches in length and as long as 18 inches. -
FIG. 2 shows another embodiment of the present invention similar toFIG. 1 , but with a jewelry ornament that can rest on the hair of the head. -
FIG. 3 shows an alternate embodiment of the present invention comprised of a band of threaded textile whose ends comprise a clip capable of attaching to the hair of the head. At a minimum, the band should be 8 inches in length and can be as long as long as 18 inches. At a minimum, the clips should be at least ½ inch long and no longer than 2 inches, and no wider than ½ inch. The entire band can be threaded, including attachments to the band (e.g., butterflies, feathers, flowers, etc.) or can be ornamental jewelry. -
FIG. 4 shows an alternate embodiment of the present invention comprised of three chains with a shared end (not shown), whose shared ends comprise either a clip or a comb. As shown inFIG. 4 , the clip or comb at the ends also function to hold hair in place in order to assist with creating different hair styles. -
FIG. 5 shows multiple hair designs that can potentially be created with the present invention. - Although preferred embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, various modifications and substitutions may be made thereto without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
