Tiara Day

Today, the word "tiara" is often used interchangeably with the word "diadem", and tiara is often translated to a word similar to diadem in other languages. Both words come from head ornaments worn by ancient men and women to denote high status.

Tiaras are certainly imposing, but they not emblems of inherited rank. As tradition goes, only married women or a bride can wear a tiara as it is seen as an emblem of the loss of innocence to the crowning of love. There's a popular misconception that tiaras are heavy. That is not true in fact, they don't weigh more than a hat.
