The Birth of the Tiara
The Persians were the first to formulate the tiara and the word described a richly bejeweled headpiece that was conical in shape and worn by the King of Persia. The King was the only person allowed to wear such an item. The main purpose of the tiara were similar to that of crowns as they would show the rest of the world that the person who adorned the tiara was someone was of great importance that you needed to show great respect and even possibly reverence.
The Grecian version of the tiara was the diadems that were simply white ribbons worn around the head, however you can still find early depictions of the gods wearing tiaras. The earlier depictions of the gods wearing diadems long outlived those wearing the tiaras, however, since it was a Persian creation and the Greeks didn’t exactly look upon the Persians very favorably.
With the fall of Grecian democracy and the rise of Alexander the Great Persian wear came back into favor. The Ruler loved the garb and would don the relished and opulent tiaras often. He would show off the gold and gems that included diamonds, emeralds rubies and sapphires.
Tiaras became a must-have item for socials by the socialites and at the turn of the 20th century wedding tiaras became popular in the United States. These newer tiaras were different than the beaded tiaras that had been worn for centuries by the Native Americans.
Tiaras being a bit on the expensive side went into a dramatic decrease in usage after World War II and the Great Depression. When television made its debut in the 1950s and 1960s tiaras came back out of the woodwork. Wedding tiaras were used once again with their extravagantly gentle designs many styles became available for women to wear not only on TV but in the great magazines of the time with Hollywood celeb’s showing them off.
Modern Day Wedding Tiaras
In more recent years towards the turn of the 21st century and onward in its first decade, the wedding tiara regained ground in popularity when brides the world over chose to wear them instead of other headpieces or veils for their day of days. Some even decide to wear both a veil and tiara so that the veil can still be removed during the ceremony and the tiara can be worn all night long through the reception.
You can find tiaras that are bit diminished in appearance so as to wear well within any hairstyle, while remaining barely visible. Others look like they are fit for a queen to wear.
