History of the Tiara
Ancient Egypt
The tiara was a sign of respect to crown
the heads of royal and noble mummies.
Mid-1800's
American wives of diplomats wore tiaras
as did hostesses and guests at formal events
in the United States and Europe.
Mid-1930's
Following the Great Depression and displays
of luxury coming to a halt, fortunately the
Silver Jubilee of George V and coronation of
George VI prompted a reappearance of the tiara.

Tiaras came back after a brief disappearance,
in lighter and more fashionable styles to
accommodate the shorter hairstyles
worn by thoroughly modern women.
Today
Tiaras (feather boas optional) are worn
with pride by women and girls of all ages
to weddings, Sweet 16 parties, pageants,
the ballet, lunch, grocery shopping,
the pool, the gym...
