Crowns have been used almost since the beginning of civilization as a symbol of power, wealth, leadership and victory. They have been used by almost every culture of people for kings, queens, monarchy, and dignitaries. Their magnificent jewel embellishments and stunning diamond settings still fascinate the world with both real and rhinestone crowns in museums and other centers.
The use of rhinestones in tiaras and other headdresses is nothing new. This dates to the thirteen century when the art of glass making became popular in Bohemia and the Czech Republic. Since that era the practice of placing small replicas of diamonds in an array of beautiful displays has been popular.
The Victorian period and the Edwardian periods are both well known for a type of extravagance in jewelry making and a type of intricate art no longer in use today. The Victorian styles signified use of various types of snakes and styled flowers, accompanied by rhinestones and other gems. The Edwardian styles were highly extravagant, and focused on elaborate use of design, and magnificent displays of jewels. Displays often used rhinestones instead of diamonds, however, with stunning pearls.
Though today we are less fascinated with the wastes and whiles of kings and queens we are no less mesmerized by the tiny sparkling rhinestones that today are still in use. Still using tiaras and sparkling hair jewelery at parties, events and grand occasions, they are still used to make an impression or create a beautiful array of color. Famous for their use at beauty pageants, weddings and proms, their fascination continues. They still, even today, signify virtues of pride, accomplishment and beauty.
The sets we now use are an impressive array of design, rhinestones, and often other stones. Stones range in a combination of fascinating neon stones, to blues, yellows, greens and gold. Styles range greatly depending on the event and sometimes even the age of the person wearing the tiara. Young girls may wear simple designs, while brides may wear more intricate designs. Winners of beauty pageants often wear stunning pieces and pass on their beautiful prize to the next winner.
These often contain magnificent rhinestones of different styles of colored glass that both amaze and mystify. Some contain neon colors that change and sparkle with the light, clothing, or draw upon other colors from the room. Others resemble diamonds and sapphires, and are styled in unusual, classic or traditional designs. Some go just around the top of the head, others are tall and sparkling. Tiaras range from silver and gold metals, to a variety of sparkling gems and jewels.
Some are little more than metal headbands with a collection of hearts, butterflies or flowers, with magnificent rhinestone settings, perfect for children to be worn to special occasions. Those worn at weddings are worn by the bride, often with veils and other wedding rhinestone accessories. Other accessories might include pearl and rhinestone earrings, necklaces and wedding bracelets. Some weddings also include the use of small tiaras and crowns for bridesmaids and flower girls.
The use of crowning continues to symbolize beauty, strength and victory, and is also elegant and beautiful. Rhinestones continue to fascinate and captivate, and add style to special days. Because of its timeless beauty the practice of rhinestone crowns continues.
