TIARA

A tiara is a decorative band or diadem worn on the head, historically a symbol of royal power, nobility and ceremony. Unlike a crown, a tiara has no closed circle and sits in a semicircle above the forehead. For centuries tiaras were precious ornaments of the aristocracy, a mark of status and an inseparable attribute of wedding and court ceremonies. Today the tiara remains an accessory of special, ceremonial occasions — above all weddings, where it crowns the bride's look, as well as balls, beauty pageants and theatrical appearances. It instantly lends a look a fairy-tale quality, grandeur and romantic elevation. Tiaras range from modest crystal bands to lavish jewelled diadems. It is an accessory of dreams and celebration that turns any look into a royal one and makes it the main character of the event.
