As if he saw her
for the first time: music, dreams,
brass on copper curls
Bride crown in brass and silver, sold to Nordiska Museet (Stockholm) in 1924. Originates from Norra Finnskoga, Höljes, in the county of Värmland. I like the simple and (in my view) contemporary look. I wish I could see the bride(s) who once wore it, hear the sound of the crown in movement. How did their lives unfold after the wedding?
You may have seen this crown before in this post about Brass, and this whole idea started off in Storytime (both posts from the 2014 A to Z challenge).
About Storytime
Inspired by online jewellery collections, I occasionally introduce an image together with a few words. I call it Storytime, because I beleive that jewellery carry so many stories. You are more than welcome to add your own poem, words or thoughts in a comment, be my guest!

Thank you! I came across other fairly similar crowns in the collection, but this one spoke to me more than the others, for some reason.

I love this image. I looks to me like something a bride in Wonderland might wear. What an intriguing piece.

Who knows, perhaps that’s how it felt for the bride too? Thanks for your comment!
