Sauron crown design

My previous attempts at drawing Sauron never seemed to get the crown right. I knew I wanted it made of flames; and ideally gold like the ring, (rather than black which is how it's usually depicted). But how do you make a gold crown stand out on gold-ish hair?

So I've made the crown into a sort of grisly halo: the upper part floats above his head, the lower part is anchored into the hair with long teeth - and probably cause a hair pain many women will be familiar with.
When seen from the front, the crown begins to hint at the shape of a flaming eye.
