I would hardly wish to be seen giving any advice for anything as
non-period as this.

Kingdom law can be found at
<http://seneschal.ansteorra.org/forms/Jan2006_Ansteorra_Law2.pdf>
Article IX is Coronet Sumptuary Laws, pp. 36-38 in the internal
numbering AND the Adobe numbering, bless the elbow of the one who took
care of that.

     Section 8 : Fillets

     A. Any member of the populace may wear a metal fillet not to
     exceed 1/2 inch in width.

     B. Any metal-looking band across the front of the head is a
     coronet, if it exceeds the stated dimension or is decorated in any
     of the ways noted above.

The decorations are listed above in more detail.  As Tivar knows but
perhaps others don't, for a regular populace headband, no Ansteorran
mull^Wstars, queen's rose (a black rose charged with a gold rose
charged with an Ansteorran star), arms of a land.  Forbidden items
include certain items extending upwards: strawberry leaves or other
trilobes, embattled, dovetailed, "semi-circular projections",
engrailed, spherical projections ("pearls" is the technical term, even
when they're not molluscan excretions).  But I see no restrictions on
things going outwards or downwards, or on lights, he said, whistling
innocently and looking at the sky.
