Tiara - Other Tiaras

Other Tiaras


Kokoshnik is part of traditional Russian headdress, similar to Ukrainian vinok and ochipok.

Although usually associated with women of reigning and noble families, tiaras have been worn by commoners as well, especially rich American socialites like Barbara Hutton, although this has been perceived as bizarre and pretentious as tiaras were normally reserved for blue-blooded ladies. They are generally a semi-circular or circular band, often metal, and decorated with real or fake jewels and are worn as a form of adornment. They are worn by women around their head or on the forehead as a circlet on very formal or high social occasions. Tiaras are frequently used to "crown" the winners of beauty pageants.

Tiaras are common jewelry in Indian weddings. In other countries the wedding dress is often accompanied by a tiara as well.
