Help: Hair Ornaments

I am looking for jewelry that is worn on the back of the head to decorate a bun, but I have no idea what it is called. There is usually a decorative broach type piece with some jhumkas and chains that are pinned into the bun. Does anyone know what I am talking about or even have pictures? I have a picture somewhere that I think I found here, but I have no idea where I saved it.Thanks in advance!

I had something similar (not sure what it's called) but it was a gold ganesha brooch type of thing that I secured to the middle of my head above my braid.  I might be thinking of something different.  It didn't have any separate chains or anything (although I had a separate headpiece in the front of my head sort of like a tikka but more of a headpiece).

Yes, I know what you're talking about. I saw it on a Maharashtra bride. I will see if I have any pictures of the back of her head, but I'm doubtful. Anyway, maybe if you look at jewelry specific to that region, you'll have some luck. I'm sure she got hers from this jeweler: http://www.pngadgiljewellers.com/index.html, but I'm not sure whether you're looking for real gold or costume jewelry. HTH

This wasn't the picture I have, but it has something similar to what I am talking about: http://imghost.indiamart.com/mdc_images/aabhushan-21539/pcat-gifs/products-small/accesories.jpg
