Tiaras - Royal Research

Tiaras... Do I really need to say more! They are one of the most iconic parts of Royalty. (Although Tiaras are not exclusively worn by royals.)

Resources
  • Order of Splendor (Blog) - They have a lot of great information on all of the Tiaras, and some other jewelry. They also have some guides on Tiara terminology, how to attach the Tiara to your hair, Tiara rules & who really owns them, etc. 
  • Royal Tiaras (Blog) - They have a great search method where you can find Tiaras by the wearer, Royal family, metal, jewel, type, etc. And they list all the appearances of that Tiara, who wore it, for what occasion. They, however, don't go into a lot of details about the Tiaras instead they often link to Order of Splendor for their posts on the Tiaras.
