Bridal: Tiaras
TIARAS also known as DIADEMS. The wearing of a diadem as a mark of nobility or royalty is an extremely ancient custom, and the forms which diadems have assumed are so diverse that it is very difficult to generalize about them or to trace a continuous line of development. The diadems of some of the Eastern Kings in ancient times were extremely ornate and heavy, while in classical times supreme power was often denoted in the simplest way - by a band of cloth worn round the head and tied in a knot behind. When Gibbon says of Diocletian that he "ventured to assume the diadem", the diadem in question was only a fillet of white cloth set with pearls. Yet much richer head dresses had been worn at an earlier date, notably by the Egyptians. |
