We've been studying wedding tiaras and wedding jewellery in the UK for several years. It's really amazing how little fashion in this area has changed over the past few years and just how many traditions have been passed down through the generations.
The exact origin of the tiara is not known for sure, but according to wikipedia it dates back to ancient Mesopotamia.

Traditionally, the word "tiara" refers to a high crown, often with the shape of a cylinder narrowed at its top, made of fabric or leather, and richly ornamented. It was used by the kings and emperors of some ancient peoples in Mesopotamia. The Assyrians used to include a pair of bull horns as a decoration and symbol of authority and a circle of short feathers surrounding the tiara's top. |
