Did You Know?
Historically the tiara is a form of crown or diadem. In ancient times if you wore
a tiara it signified nobility or royalty. The forms of tiara can be extremely diverse. For
example, the Egyptian princesses had amazingly delicate tiaras made of delicate flowers in
gold wire and inlaid with stones. In the Greek world, the upper edge of the tiara was
sometimes decorated with attached gold leaves or rosettes, which was the forerunner of the
pinnacled crown. In classical times the Romans developed extremely naturalistic imitations
of wreaths of real leaves made in gold, silver and materials plated with gold, and were
worn for ceremonial occasions.
In Western Europe during the early Middle
Ages the pinnacled crown began to develop towards its present form and was worn as the
symbol of kingship. The women and the subjects not of royal birth wore the plainer head
ornaments. They consisted either of narrow bands of metal, sometimes decorated with pearls
and precious stones, or an embroidered band onto which were sewn gold flowers. Over time
the wearing of tiaras gradually crystallized into a system of privilege.
In modern times the words tiara and diadem
are interchanged, however, the word tiara is no longer only associated with status or
privilege. |
