The book is published in connection with the special exhibition Til Bal paa Slottet at Gavnø Castle and offers a unique insight into the 33 head and hair ornaments featured in the exhibition. Here, you can explore each individual piece through detailed descriptions and stories about concept, form, and craftsmanship.

The exhibition is curated by jewellery writer Nina Hald and created in collaboration with goldsmith Bodil Binner, and the book reflects the same fascination with head jewellery as both a historical symbol of power and status – and as a modern expression of creativity and artistic freedom.

With a focus on both tradition and contemporary jewellery design, the book provides an inspiring insight into how some of Denmark’s most skilled goldsmiths interpret tiaras, diadems, and hair ornaments today. The result is a visual and professional work that serves both as a catalogue and a source of inspiration.
