Tiaras on Display
Tiaras have been used by both men and women since their conception during the ancient times. However, in eras passed, wearing tiaras was limited to pharaohs, kings or gods. It was a symbol of affluence, wealth and beauty. These days there is an increase in the demand and supply of tiaras. A number of members of the nobility still continue to wear tiaras but wearing one is no longer limited to that section of society.
Ever since the beginning of the modern era, women have worn tiaras during beauty pageants and weddings to enhance their beauty or to simulate the feeling of royalty. Members of the royal family or nobility wore tiaras to symbolize wealth while other women wore them to heighten the impact of their appearance and to distinguish themselves from everyone else who is dressed up at their weddings.
With the continued interest and demand for these headpieces, it is to be expected that there would be numerous museums and exhibits dedicated to tiaras. These museums are a tribute to these longstanding accessories while informing the next generation of its history. There are at least four major museums and exhibits which showcase these gems from ancient times. These are the Louvre Museum in Paris, the British Museum in London, the Victoria and Albert Museum in London and the exhibit at the Smithsonian Museum in the United States.
Each museum and exhibit shows a different aspect from the rich history of tiaras. The Louvre Museum in France holds two pieces that have shaped or affected the country. These are the Empress Eugenie Pearl and Diamond Tiara and the Tiara of Saitaferne. Each has its own interesting story to tell. The Empress Eugenie was made during the middle of the 19th century and was paid for by Napoleon III as a gift to his wife, Eugenie de Montijo for their wedding. After the downfall of Napoleon, the tiara changed hands several times before it was bought by the Louvre Museum during the early 1990s.
The Tiara of Saitaferne, on the other hand, holds a more comical tale. It was created by a Russian goldsmith by the name of Israel Rouchomovosky during the late 19th century. It was commissioned by the Hochman Brothers who took the tiara and presented it to the Louvre Museum and claimed it was part of a find from the Greek-Scythian Era. Rouchomovosky, who claimed innocence of the crime, had to prove himself that the tiara was a fake. Humiliated, the officials from the Louvre Museum withdrew the piece from display for 90 years.
The British Museum, on the other hand, holds the tiara made by Hunt and Roskell. This particular piece of jewelry is interesting as it has a natural design consisting of acorns and leaves. The piece is even more intriguing as it one of the rare instances that a convertible tiara has survived with all of its mounts still intact.
The exhibitions on tiaras by the Victoria and Albert Museum as well as the British Museum feature more of tiaras worn by the European royalty. All in all, there are more than 200 pieces, a large number used by the British royal family as well as modern celebrities that have worn or designed these extravagant tiaras.
In the United States, the Smithsonian Museum trying to make a more unique approach by releasing a set of posters depicting the history of the tiaras.
