Dejhoor

Dejhoor (or Deji-Hor) is a dangling ear ornament worn by Kashmiri Pandits married women, from the day before they are wed in holy matrimony.

The ornament is not worn by Muslim Kashmiris [2] or any other Hindu community.

The dejhoor ornament is always hexagonal and it symbolizes a yantra denoting Shiva and Shakti.

[4][5] An interpretation of the term Dij is that it represents "dvija" and is thus the female counterpart of a yajnopavita in the Brahmin community.

However a dejhoor is provided by the girl's family and worn even after the death of the husband.
