its some type of a kashmiri ornament.. i think it has the same purpose as a mangtika.. "suhag ki nishani" type of thing.. they believe its good luck if you are married and all.. mostly kashmiris wear it.. even i dont know what its called.. but i know that kashmiri people wear it..
but it is different from mangtika.. its more like those thingies made out of zardosi.. idk.. 😳 😕
take a look at this site:

It describes what it is..
Over the head and ears are pieces of muslin embroidered in gold thread..
The typical ornament that Hindu women wear is the dejharoo, a pair of gold pendants, hanging on a silk thread or gold chain which passes through holes in the ears pieced at the top end of the lobes. The dejharoo is the Kashmiri panditani's mangal-sutra.
and i also found some pictures.. they arent that cool.. but i guess i'll post them anyways..
