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.

Tiara like the Pope's

In Catholicism, the tiara represents the triple crown of the Pope and is a symbol of papal sovereignty. As you can see in the photo, a tiara is a tall egg-shaped headdress, decorated with a cross and three crowns. The back of the tiara is decorated with two flowing ribbons.

According to some scientists, the papal tiara has a second name - triregnum, which translated from Latin means “three kingdoms”. This explains the presence of three crowns on the papal tiara - as a symbol of the Pope’s power over Heaven, Earth and Hell.

For many years, the tiara was used by the Catholic Church for the coronation of the Pope, but the modern Catholic Church no longer uses the tiara for coronation; its place was taken by the miter. The tiara holds an important place in the Catholic world. Evidence of this is the image of the tiara on the Vatican coat of arms, which is a red shield with the image of two crossed keys, above which the papal tiara rises.

Diamond tiara “Russian kokoshnik”

The tiara is made of white gold and 488 diamonds by Garrard & Co. After Alexandra's death, it passed to her daughter-in-law, Queen Mary, and after her ended up in the treasury of Elizabeth II.

Tiara "Honeycomb" (or "Greville")

This tiara was made in 1901 for Lady Greville, daughter of the “beer king” of England. Lady Greville was a close friend of Queen Elizabeth (the Queen Mother). She inherited the jewelry after the death of her friend, according to her will. However, the queen's mother's husband, King George VI, decided that the royal family could not accept such expensive gifts from private individuals. For the first time, the new owner of the tiara was able to wear it only in 1947, during an official visit to South Africa. The tiara was then inherited by the current queen, Elizabeth II. Later, the Queen gave it to Prince Charles's second wife, Camilla.

Diamond Halo Tiara

The famous tiara of the Jordanian royal family was created by the craftsmen of the Cartier jewelry house for Queen Alia. Its design reminds some of a complex floral crown, and for others it resembles a combination of snowflakes. After Aaliyah's death in 1977, the tiara passed to her daughter, Princess Haya. Nowadays it can often be seen on Queen Rania - first, Haya lent her the decoration for the coronation of Abdullah II, then for other celebrations, then completely sold the tiara to the queen.

What's different about a tiara?

In addition to Greece, in the old days the tiara was also found in Persia. The decoration was tall and had an oval shape; the product should be worn from above the head. Nowadays, the tiara is rare: girls from high society wear the decoration, showing off at special events. And the trend this summer and autumn is a tiara on the bride’s head during the wedding ceremony.
The main difference between the two types of jewelry is in the form and design. The tiara is more complex in decoration; its round shape is replete with precious stones. Resembling a crown, such a head frame looks rich and status-worthy.
The tiara is simpler - it looks like a rim that resembles a hoop of the same width around the entire perimeter. The accessory looks like an exquisite, thin, elegant thing, and is made in a round shape.
Historically, both headbands were traditionally made of gold or silver. But in our time, there are a lot of costume jewelry available to representatives of all walks of life. Products are decorated with silver/silver elements, as well as stones, but it is quite possible to use rhinestones and other items.
According to some sources, the diadem is always closed in a ring, while the tiara is considered an open subtype of the diadem. But the opinions of experts are contradictory, and they are often confused by ordinary people.

Modern accessories in the form of a tiara or diadem are worn exclusively by the female population of all ages. Expensive jewelry on a woman’s head is always chic, sparkle, sophistication and charm.

Queen Josephine's Amethyst Tiara

The amethyst decoration is part of the set that arrived in the Bernadotte collection along with the “Napoleonic” legacy of Queen Josephine. Initially, there was no tiara in the collection; there was a heavy necklace with large amethysts. Everything changed with the arrival of Sylvia into the royal family. The young wife of King Carl Gustav asked to insert a large necklace into the frame and began to wear it as a tiara.

Tiara Modern-Frange

This tiara is associated with Princess Madeleine, but was once worn by Queen Silvia. The decoration was a gift from King Carl Gustav to his wife on the tenth anniversary of their marriage. Princess Madeleine borrowed this tiara from her mother on a regular basis starting in the 2000s. In the end, Queen Silvia resisted the sparkle in her youngest daughter's eyes and gave her a tiara for her wedding. Since then, Madeleine remains the only owner of the tiara and does not lend it to any of her relatives. And the princess is easy to understand!

Stunning tiara, isn't it?

Hairstyles depending on the occasion

Tiaras are suitable for special occasions: weddings, graduation, New Year.

Wedding hairstyles with tiara

The tiara is often used in wedding hairstyles. It looks good when the hair on the face is neatly styled and voluminous on the back of the head. The accessory is used with loose curls, ponytails, braids, plaits or more complex options.

For modest women, this option is suitable: the hair is curled, the bangs are laid on the side, and a crown is put on top. The result is a solemn and laconic image.
Owners of thick and long hair can realize their fantasies with the help of this accessory. You can make braids in the form of patterns, intertwined spikelets and much more.
The Malvina hairstyle is perfect. Small strands are separated from the sides, twisted and secured at the back. This opens up the face and forehead.
Curled curls on the sides also look beautiful. Hair must be curled from the crown to create volume at the roots. If you put a tiara on regular smooth hair that has no volume at the roots, it will look ridiculous.
For girls with an oval face shape, a bun is suitable to highlight the cheekbones. But it should not be overloaded with decorations: rhinestones, beads, braids, plaits. It all depends on the main decoration.

To graduation party

A hairstyle with a tiara at prom will give the image a refined aristocracy. It is important to understand that:

it should be in harmony with the dress in style;
the hairstyle should be beautiful, but not vulgar, without huge volume and curls;
makeup should not be too provocative and bright, otherwise it will distract attention from the main element of the image - styling.

The styling for graduation must be well fixed, because it must last not only the official part, but also the banquet. The following options are suitable for the event:

Hollywood Wave;
hairstyle in Greek style;
shell;
bunch;
malvinka;
babette;
patent bob;
bow;
waterfall;
spikelet;
fish tail.

Graduation is a long event; your hairstyle should last at least 5 hours. Therefore, you should not choose designs that weigh down your hair - it will be uncomfortable. Thin tiaras are suitable as decoration, showing all the tenderness and romance of age.

for the new year

Preference is given to loose curls. Standard fishtail, spikelet, and snail will also work. Shiny jewelry, such as stilettos with pearls, will complement the look. You can make a New Year's hairstyle with a tiara as follows:

curl your hair with medium and large curlers;
arbitrarily secure the curls on the top of the head;
decorate with a headband.

Queen Mary Bandeau Tiara

The platinum jewelry was created in 1932. It consists of 11 sections, pierced with interlocking diamond ovals and pavé. A brooch is placed in the center of the bandeau - a gift that Queen Mary received from the County of Lincoln on her wedding day with the future King George V. The tiara can be modified: the brooch can be worn solo, and another stone can be placed in the center of the tiara. In 1953, Queen Mary gave the jewelry to her granddaughter, young Elizabeth II. In 2022, Duchess Meghan Markle wore the tiara to her wedding to Prince Harry. After the celebration, the tiara returned to the treasury, but Prince Harry presented his wife with another piece of jewelry - an aquamarine ring that belonged to Princess Diana.

History of the accessory

Wearing jewelry on the head in the form of hoops, similar to modern tiaras, was customary in ancient times. Initially they were intended for men of royal blood. Such a crown was worn by Pharaoh Snofru in Egypt, and it was called “seshed”. However, the first true tiaras appeared in Ancient Greece. The headbands of the priestesses, as well as laurel wreaths, were called symbols of glory.

In the Middle Ages they lost their popularity and were worn only in Byzantium. The fashion for head decorations was revived in the Empire era. Then they were made in the antique style, decorated with semi-precious and ornamental stones.

Luxurious and pretentious tiaras are worn today by representatives of royal families, princesses and duchesses in England and other royal states. These products have a long history and are passed down from generation to generation. However, the decoration is also popular among modern girls without titles. Most often, a tiara is worn to create majestic or romantic images for a special occasion, for example:

gala evening;
wedding;
photoshoot.

At the same time, it is important to choose the right clothes, hairstyle, and makeup that match such a demanding accessory.
