History of the tiara
Diadem comes from the Greek "Diadeo" meaning "to fasten" or "to tie".
In essence, this is a type of crown, originally considered an exclusively male decoration. It was worn by the rulers of Asia, and the Jewish high priests, and the priests of Ancient Rome. The history of the diadem dates back to Ancient Greece. Headbands called a diadem - "DIA" - were worn by ancient Greek priests.
When conducting a wedding ceremony, the diadem symbolizes the wedding crown - a solemn element of the wedding, which is of a sacred nature. The headdress - the crown for the bride and groom was initially very different from modern tiaras. It was short-lived and was woven from laurel branches, wild grapes, hops, cypress, orange flowers and other materials. Later, metal was used to make it, and precious stones were used as decoration. Now, in the Christian church, metal crowns - tiaras - are placed on the heads of the bride and groom performing the sacrament of marriage.
From Byzantium, where in the first half of the 5th century emperors were dressed in royal attire, placed on a diadem and raised on a shield, Russia borrowed another solemn rite - the crowning of the kingdom, which also featured this type of crown. Subsequently, the tiara became a head decoration for women. Her shape is now a small open crown.
Tiaras became extremely popular at the end of the 18th century. To decorate them, they began to use precious stones, which were placed in such a sequence that a name or word could be read by their first letters.
The history of the diadem has gone through centuries of development. Nowadays they are worn by ladies from the highest circles when going to large receptions, they serve as decoration for the pretty heads of the winners of beauty contests, and they are still worn by brides when performing a wedding ceremony. Thanks to its shape, the tiara stays on the head very well; it looks great both with and without a veil.
Tiaras in the Greek style and tiaras a la “Magnificent Century”
Modern designers create their jewelry in accordance with fashion trends. For example, increased interest in Greek hairstyles led to the introduction of Greek-style tiaras . They are characterized by simplicity, restraint and elegance. Pearls, glass, stones are usually kept in the same color. Geometric patterns, palm branches decorate curls, all kinds of braids and weaving, and high buns.
The popularity of the Turkish series “The Magnificent Century” about the times of the Ottoman Empire attracted the attention of fashionistas to the luxurious jewelry of the main characters.
Since the release of the series, “Magnificent Century” tiaras have captivated the hearts of connoisseurs of oriental beauty. The designs of these jewelry are rich and intricate. Precious stones, of course, have been replaced in modern tiaras with more affordable ones, but jewelry in the style of the series has become a real boom.

What it is
From year to year, hair jewelry is gaining momentum in popularity.
The center of attention, of course, is tiaras and tiaras...
A royal hair decoration that will undoubtedly not leave any beauty indifferent.
It is known for certain that the tiara represents royalty; princesses and queens, duchesses and princesses of modern society are proud to wear it.
As for ordinary girls, no one forbids complementing their look with this wonderful hair accessory, with which any girl can feel like a real princess.
So where did it all start? It has long been believed that the tiara was exclusively an accessory for men; in ancient times, women did not wear this kind of jewelry.
The word “diadem” in ancient Greece was the name for a hair band.
Tiaras were worn by Roman Kings,
they depicted Greek gods and goddesses, and especially often the goddess of family and marriage - Hera and, of course, Aphrodite - the goddess of love and beauty.
Tiaras were no less popular among Russian empresses. It is believed that the first jewelry of this type appeared during the reign of Peter the Great. This is confirmed by the portrait of his wife Catherine, who wears an elegant ornament in her hair.
Tiaras have always been considered a real luxury; they were made of precious metals and decorated with various stones, pearls and crystal. Many tiaras of that time belonged to empresses, but some of the jewelry was state property. Royalty could only temporarily borrow tiaras for receptions and balls. The Russian nobility was no stranger to fashion inspired from Europe, but, nevertheless, national motifs were always present in jewelry.
The tiara became popular in Europe in the 19th century,
and today, thanks to pop culture, this decoration is associated not only with royalty, but also with celebrities and famous movie characters.
We all know Audrey Hepburn's flirtatious character in the movie Breakfast at Tiffany's, where her hair was decorated with a tiara.
Features and Benefits
Do you want to create a memorable image for a holiday or just going out? Feel free to choose a diadem or tiara. After all, there are a lot of advantages here.
You can use the tiara both on loose hair and on your hair tied up. Any image will look impressive, the main thing is not to overload it with other decorations. In addition, such hair accessories are quite easy to attach and any girl can definitely do without a stylist, but we’ll talk about this a little later.
A big plus is also that tiaras and tiaras come in different variations, from simple to more complex, decorated with precious stones and pearls, beads or ribbons. But the most important advantage of this decoration is that, leaving your gaze on such an accessory, you will undoubtedly leave behind a pleasant aftertaste.
What is the difference between a tiara and a crown from a diadem?
Let's figure out how a tiara differs from a diadem and why you shouldn't overuse crowns.
These jewelry differ in style and shape. The tiara is a rather complex and sometimes massive decoration in nature, since it was originally worn by royalty.
The diadem has the shape of a crown, but this crown is not always closed.
The tiara is most often unchanged in width and has a fairly light and simple design. Sometimes it resembles a small crown.
At one time, tiaras were reserved exclusively for princesses. For the young and romantic.
The crown is inspired by the luxury of centuries gone by and reminds us of the era of the reign of real kings and queens. It is a closed ring, decorated with all kinds of stones and made of expensive metals.
But this is no reason to be upset, now any girl can afford this accessory. Designers today offer us a choice for every taste and budget.
On the head for hair
So which hair accessory should you choose? With pearls? Stones? Or in the Greek style? The answer is obvious. It all depends on the image. And remember that you shouldn’t overuse too many accessories. A tiara is a truly exquisite and noble hair decoration. It attaches to your head without any extra effort and instantly makes you irresistible. This accessory symbolizes femininity and beauty brought together, so when choosing it for a special occasion, you definitely can’t go wrong.

Mythology presents us with interesting facts. The goddess Hera, the wife of Zeus, was the patroness of marriage and all women on earth. Her head was crowned with a diadem. And it is believed that the very ritual of placing a miniature crown on the head has its roots here.
Indeed, the diadem resembles a crown. That is why the ceremony is called a wedding. Even the bride who does not want to marry her chosen one in church is happy to wear this jewelry. After all, in this way she is, as it were, equated to the goddess, likened to her. This decoration is attached directly to the head or supports the hairstyle. Considering the fact that the bride will wear it all evening, you should carefully select this accessory. The tiara should not press or fly off. It is also worth taking into account that the decoration does not cover the hairstyle and matches the shape of the bride’s face.
How to choose
And now we finally come to the question of how to choose “that very” tiara. At first glance, this decoration seems simple, but sometimes it can turn out to be whimsical. When choosing a tiara, the shape of your face is important. A well-chosen hair accessory will make you a real lady, but the wrong choice can highlight your flaws.
Almost all models of tiaras and tiaras are suitable for girls with an oval face type. But you should probably refrain from “tall” models. But such “high” tiaras or tiaras-crowns will be very flattering for chubby girls, since with the help of such an accessory you can visually lengthen your face. Jewelry without accents in the central part suits a square face type very well. The ideal option would be a hoop tiara or a Greek-style tiara. A triangular face type will suit a tiara or diadem of the same height. You can visually shorten an elongated face using a tiara without unnecessary points.
Tips for choosing jewelry for the bride
When choosing a model, wedding stylists advise not to stop at the first option you like, but to pay attention to the following factors:
- girl's complexion;
- cut and color of the dress;
- bride's hair length;
- girl's face shape.
Stylists advise paying special attention to the shape of your face. Because sometimes how she will look in an image depends on her. Stylists' advice boils down to the following simple rules:
- A mini-crown model would suit a triangular face. You should not purchase jewelry in the form of a triangle; a tiara will make the features even sharper and more repulsive;
- Asymmetrical tiaras are suitable for oval faces. Conservative brides can opt for a semicircular model with the same length along the entire diameter. The ideal option would be a tiara in the form of a headband;
- A tiara with large precious and semi-precious stones is ideal for a rectangular face. This approach will visually soften the overall facial features;
- If you have an elongated face shape, you should choose a model without high and pointed peaks. A medium-thick option would be ideal;
- But in the case of a rounded tiara, the ideal solution would be a model with pointed tops. The edges of the model should be slightly narrowed.
If a girl has natural delicate facial features, you should pay attention to miniature versions of tiaras. In this case, additional decorations will overload the image, so you should discard them.
It is also important to pay attention to the height of the bride when choosing such an accessory. Tiaras and small crowns are suitable for slender women of average and taller height. Ladies with curvy figures should not stop at miniature versions of tiaras. A chic crown or tiara decorated with precious stones or Swarovski crystals will help to visually balance the image.
Before purchasing a tiara, stylists advise not to neglect the fitting process. After trying it on, it is important not to take it off immediately, but to get used to the sensations and try to find pitfalls. The main features of a suitable model are comfort and convenience, both moral and physical. The tiara should be a weightless detail of the image that has a decorative function.
What is a tiara
A tiara is a head decoration made of precious metals and stones, closed in a circle. The item is a type of crown that was previously worn by men and women. Today, decoration is part of a woman’s romantic image; it is used to create festive images and wedding sets.
Important! There is a similar head decoration called a tiara, but their differences are obvious and should not be confused.
Tiaras with beads and pearls
Often modern brides who come from the royal family got married wearing crowns and crowns decorated with pearls. These elegant mother-of-pearl beads will pair beautifully with both precious metals and more budget-friendly tiara materials.
A snow-white wedding dress, especially if it is decorated with precious gifts of sea shells, harmonizes perfectly with white pearls in the hair accessory.
No less elegant crowns are made from beads: this is a cheaper version of the product, but undoubtedly beautiful. You can make it yourself or order it from a skilled craftsman.
Interesting facts about tiaras
The decoration is almost universal and can be used in any image. Stylists are advised to adhere to well-known facts about such attire:
- for an oval face with delicate features, thin headbands trimmed with small beads and stones are perfect;
- suitable for any hair and its shade;
- decoration in a wedding look can easily replace the usual veil;
- a piece of jewelry trimmed with pearls should be combined with earrings or a necklace made of the same material.
The headdress personifies luxury, aristocracy, grace and elegance. The girl will look like a fairy-tale princess, noble and majestic. It is worth turning to professional stylists who will securely attach the product to your hair, creating a beautiful, delicate hairstyle. It will be a worthy decoration and will help emphasize the luxury of the selected outfit.

Choosing tiaras on the head for different hairstyles

Crowns, that is, closed tiaras, are suitable for hairstyles in which the hair is gathered in a knot high on the top of the head. But comb tiaras can be used with almost any hairstyle.

Tiaras-headbands, tiaras-crests, Greek and other types of tiaras
A tiara is a head decoration in the shape of a crown. This crown is not always closed in a ring; more often it is an open crown. Since ancient times, the diadem has been a symbol of royal power. Having turned into decoration, today it is intended for special occasions - weddings, proms, beauty contests or balls.
A tiara is similar to a diadem , having a simpler design and almost the same width throughout the entire decoration, often with a stylized small crown. Tiaras differ in size, height, method of attachment, and design.
Tiaras made of beads, wire or flowers?
Tiaras are made from a variety of materials. The base, woven with beautiful patterns, is made of gold, silver or metal wire and is decorated with rhinestones, stones, pearls, crystal, and beads.
Wire tiaras are the most democratic. Handmade masters create magnificent tiaras from base metals, even at home. Moreover, they can be either purely wire or decorated with beads and stones.
Beaded tiaras look especially delicate . Thin branches, petals and openwork weaving can be complemented with beads and flowers. These are the most typical wedding decorations. And since the floral theme has been relevant for several years, this trend could not help but be reflected in tiaras.
Examples of wire tiaras with beads and beads:
Wild and garden flowers, buds, berries and even fresh flowers are used in flower tiaras :
Tiaras with stones and Swarovski tiaras deserve special attention . These are truly works of jewelry - exquisite and shining. Crystals, Czech glass, rhinestones, semi-precious and precious stones turn a girl into a real princess. This is how tiaras are most often made for brides.
Swarovski stones and rhinestones look especially appropriate on wedding tiaras or jewelry for special occasions (such as attending high-ranking social events). The crown diadem with precious stones is perhaps the pinnacle of this genre. Moreover, etiquette still obliges real princesses and queens to wear crowns at special events.
Color options
Most often, the base of the product is made of metals. Gold jewelry is highly expensive and is usually chosen by wealthy people and celebrities. This accessory confirms the high status of its owner. The characteristic yellow color is ideal for evening events.
Silver tiaras are more affordable accessories; they perfectly complement the look for a significant event. White products are also popular. In this case, the frame can be made of fabric, metal and even painted tree branches.
In addition to standard gold and silver shades, today designers use other options:
- Black. They look the most extravagant. They can be made from beads, Czech glass, Swarovski crystals, and agate.
- Green. To create non-standard images, jewelry made of malachite and emerald is used.
- Blue. The shade is given by finishing with aquamarine, turquoise, lapis lazuli, topaz, sapphire, semi-precious and ornamental stones.
- Purple. Such accents are provided by inserts of iolite, garnet, ametrine, and amethyst.
- Mother of pearl. Delicate colors have tiaras made of pearls, with ceramic inserts or plastic parts.
Headband tiara, forehead tiara or comb tiara?
A tiara or headband tiara is often fixed in the hairstyle like a regular hoop. The “hoop” can be located either around the head or in a more “horizontal” plane, like a crown. Sometimes small combs are used at the ends of such decorations so that they can be more securely attached to the hair.
In a comb tiara, the decorative part is fixed to the comb, which allows you to easily and securely fix the decoration in your hair. This could be a small tiara that looks great at the base of a high bun hairstyle.
Forehead tiaras (also called feronnières ) are placed on the head and descend to the forehead. Known since the Renaissance and out of fashion in the 20s of the last century, they returned along with the hippie generation (the same “hairatniki” - bandages around the forehead). In a modern version, these are elegant openwork forehead decorations.
Types of tiaras
Tiaras come in different shapes, from thin and smooth, to elegant ones with curls and more reminiscent of crowns. But this is only an external decoration.
By themselves, they represent a hoop, and less often a semicircle with a scallop-like fastening on the reverse side. For a tight fixation on the hair, it should be additionally secured with a bobby pin in inconspicuous places.
As a rule, it is stopped on the top of the head at a slight angle. Thus, it becomes visible to everyone, and at the same time it does not stick out much. This is the best hairstyle with a tiara for medium-length hair.
