carcanet🔊

A joy it was to see such a shifting maze of velvets, furs, curious needleworks and cloth of tissue, tiffanies, laces, ruffs, goodly chains and carcanets of gold: such glitter of jewels and weapons: such nodding of the plumes the Demons wore in their hair, half veiling the horns that grew upon their heads.

Like stones of worth they thinly placed are, / Or captain jewels in the carcanet.

[H]e cared nothing for curiously woven shrouds, and feathered mantles, and carcanets of pearl beads, and jars of quaint pottery […]

There flying Elwing came to him, / and flame was in the darkness lit; / more bright than light of diamond / the fire upon her carcanet.

Lo you! let me have a blue robe, and—search for the ruby carcanet, which was part of the King of Cyprus's ransom—it is either in the steel-casket, or somewhere else.
