Gatsby Headband

This Gatsby headband is jewelry first and headband second: scalloped rhinestone chains run across the brow, a crystal-look flower cluster sits at one temple, and three loops of rhinestone chain drape below it toward the ear. Clear stones on silver-tone metal give it a cool, icy sparkle, and a black elastic band at the back holds it in place.

Wearing the Silver-Tone Headband Low or High

Set low on the forehead, it gives the full flapper look with a bob or pinned-up curls. Pushed higher along the hairline, the brow chains frame the face more quietly, which suits a bride or a wedding guest. Turn it so the flower lands on the side of your parting; the draped loops then fall over the fuller side. Dark hair hides the elastic easily, and on blonde hair a few strands pulled over it do the same job.

What to Wear With a Rhinestone Gatsby Headband

Clear stones on a cool metal look sharpest against white, ivory, navy, black and silver dresses, and they lift a plain satin slip into party territory. Keep earrings small, since the side cluster already sits near the ear, and let a beaded or sequin dress carry the rest. For feathers or a broader band, browse our flapper headbands.
