I decided not to make a coif. The decorations would have been sewn framing the face. Instead, I decided to add them to the crescent. It is really not authentic, but wearing 3 items on the head was a bit too much for me.
I found some gold ribbon 1-1/2" wide and carefully pleated it manually by machine. I couldn't use my pleater, the ribbon was too fragile. In my stash of antique jewelry, I found this gold necklace with a string of pearl attached. Perfect! It was also the correct length. It was handstitched at the lower edge of the crescent above the pleated ribbon.
