Khit er rouh, also known as Zerouf, is a type of Algerian diadem or headband made up of nineteen carved chatons linked together by rings, forming rosettes or rosaces and zerraref pendeloques made of gold set with diamonds or other precious stones.

It is adorned with precious stones by wealthy city dwellers but does not serve to designate their social status.

[4] Some models were made up of an assembly of diamonds forming rosettes of rubies and emeralds set in silver or gold opercula.

It is passed down from mother to daughter, so some families in Algiers possess very ancient and therefore very expensive "khit er rouh".

[5] Originally from the city of Algiers, the Khiterrouh was worn under another gold diadem called Açaba (in Arabic: عصّابة "ʿAṣṣāba"), formed of hinged plates, in the shape of an inverted escutcheon, adorned with quivering pins.
