Is this a tiara, hair band or bridal circlet?

Hi everyone! I pick this up today at a local store, what would you call this? it’s marked 925 italy

 

Could you model it for us? How does it sit on the head? Does the front bit come down onto the forehead? From here it looks like an Elrond/Galadriel sort of thing.

 

One word for bridal circlet, the kind that anchors a veil, is 'stephane'.

 

Or would it be worn around the neck?

 

Yes, it looks like a torc or torque necklace.

 

That's the word I was thinking of!

 

This seems much more like it. 'Collar' is also used.

 

I have a silver "neck piece" in that general shape. Haven't worn it in years!

 

I have one too, but without the decoration. I wear it with pendants, instead of a chain. It is great if you have an arthritic neck.

 

when Italian then rather an alice band for schoolgirls

 

thank you so much for your comments, I would have never thought of a necklace but that actually makes the most sense

 

A torc.

 

I'd call it a torc too.
