Ruff Of the 'falling' type, pleated linen, 1620-30, English. As ruffs started to give way to collars, the style most commonly seen was the falling variety, made to drape over the collar of the doublet, jacket or bodice worn underneath. (V&A Museum, London)

Portrait miniature of an unknown woman, watercolour on vellum, painted by Isaac Oliver, c. 1615. (Victoria & Albert Museum, London) The small jewel or locket on her ruff is clearly meant to stand out. And once meant something to her - and somebody else perhaps.
