Pageant crowns or tiaras trace their history from the ancient people of Mesopotamia. The word tiara originated from the Persian “tara” meaning crown and such was worn by the ancient Persians with plenty of jewels adorning the truncated cone. The word tiara is often associates with kings and emperors as well as people of power and high stature. Today, the word ‘tiara’ is another term for pageant crowns.
The beauty pageants that we have today have their origins from the May Day festivities of ancient Europe where they choose symbolic kings and queens for the festivities. The chosen men and women are often beautiful and young and are thought to symbolize the nation's virtues and other abstract ideas. Today, although the pageants have evolved to include even popular causes, the idea remains the same. Pageant crowns are placed on top of the winner’s head to symbolize that they have the authority and power vested upon them to represent the cause for which the pageant was staged. The pageant crowns are therefore made with as much care for the design and materials that goes with it. It is often adorned with precious stones and beautiful gems so as to give it the stature that it deserves.
