Coronet
A coronet is a small crown consisting of ornaments fixed on a metal ring. A coronet differs from other kinds of crowns in that most coronets do not have arches, and from a tiara in that a coronet completely encircles the head, while a tiara does not. In other languages, this distinction is not made as usually the same word for crown is used irrespective of rank (German: Krone, Dutch: Kroon, Swedish: Krona, French: Couronne, etc.) Today, its main use is not as a headgear (indeed, many people entitled to a coronet never have a physical one created), but as a rank symbol in heraldry, adorning somone's coat of arms.

coronet
A coronet is a small or relatively simple crown traditionally worn by nobles and other lower-ranking members of a monarchy. It often represents one's rank and is usually adorned with precious or semi-precious stones and metals. Though similar to a full crown, coronets tend to be less elaborate.

Coronet
A coronet is a small crown consisting of ornaments fixed on a metal ring. By one definition, a coronet differs from a crown in that a coronet never has arches, and from a tiara in that a coronet completely encircles the head, while a tiara does not. By a slightly different definition, a crown is worn by an emperor, empress, king or queen; a coronet by a nobleman or lady. See also diadem. The word stems from the Old French coronete, a diminutive of coronne, itself from the Latin corona. Traditionally, such headgear is – as indicated by the German equivalent Adelskrone – used by nobles and by princes and princesses in their coats of arms, rather than by monarchs, for whom the word crown is customarily reserved in formal English, while many languages have no such terminological distinction. Other than a crown, a coronet shows the rank of the respective noble. Hence, in German there is also the term Rangkrone. For equivalents, both physical and emblematic, in other languages and cultures, see under crown.
