Of beaming sunny rays a golden tiar
Circled his head. John Milton, Par. Lost, b. iii.This royal robe, and this tiara wore
Old Priam, and this golden scepter bore
In full assemblies. John Dryden, Æn.A tiar wreath’d her head with many a fold,
Her waste was circled with a zone of gold. Alexander Pope.Fairer she seem’d, distinguish’d from the rest,
And better mien disclos’d, as better drest:
A bright tiara round her forehead ty’d,
To juster bounds confin’d its rising pride. Matthew Prior.
Wikipedia
Tiara
A tiara (from Latin: tiara, from Ancient Greek: τιάρα) is a jeweled head ornament. Its origins date back to ancient Greece and Rome. In the late 18th century, the tiara came into fashion in Europe as a prestigious piece of jewelry to be worn by women at formal occasions. The basic shape of the modern tiara is a (semi-)circle, usually made of silver, gold or platinum, and richly decorated with precious stones, pearls or cameos. Tiaras were extremely popular during the late 19th century and were worn at events where the dress code was white tie. After World War I, wearing a tiara gradually fell out of fashion, except for official occasions at a royal court. Interest in tiaras has increased again since the beginning of the 21st century. The word "tiara" is often used interchangeably with the word "diadem".

Tiara
A tiara is a form of crown. There are two possible types of crown that this word can refer to. 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 Anatolia and Mesopotamia, notably the Hittites. 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. The Persian tiara was more similar to a truncated cone, without the horns and feathers but more jewels, and a conic-shaped tip at its top.
