Everything about Diadem Personal Wear totally explained
» This article is about a type of crown called a diadem; for alternative meanings, see Diadem.
A
diadem (from the
Greek διάδημα diadema, from
διάδηω diadeo to bind round, or fasten) was originally a white ribbon, ending in a knot and two strips that were placed often on the shoulders, that surrounded the head of the
king to denote his authority.
By extension, this term was applied later to a
crown, generally with a circular shape. For example, the crown worn by the kings of Anglo-Saxon England were diadems, as was the crown of a
baron later (in some countries surmounted by three globes).
A diadem is also a jeweled ornament worn by women with the shape of a half crown, placed over the forehead (in this sense, also called
tiara). In some societies, it's also a
wreath worn around the head.
