another doily

Inspired by this image I found here:

I made my own version:

Using a hand-crochet doily, adding a layer of metallic chiffon, and sewing it down on a pale moss-colored ribbon that ties in the back.

And then adding a rather beautiful broach from Accessorize.

And talking of chockers/neck-warmers (in lack of a better name), has anyone seen this type before? I found it at an auction a few years ago:

My bet is that it is home-sewn, with velvet and cotton-lace for decoration.

Here seen from the back. I´m thinking it must be a piece made to be tucked into a dress, probably in the same fabric.

Inside it´s a very fine woven linen. Judging by style, color and material, I´m guessing it´s from around 1900, no later than 1910.

I appreciate any other views, guesses or information on this piece.
