Crowns are circular, ornamental headdresses made of precious metals and decorated with jewels. They are usually worn by monarchs such as Kings and Queens as symbols of their power and authority.

Styles[]

Crowns are made of precious metals such as gold or silver and decorated with jewels. As symbols of power and authority, their size and ornateness of design often signifies the status of their wearer or the nature of event to which they are worn. For example, the crown Arthur wore as Prince was lighter and less ornate than the crown he wore as King, and the crown Uther wore on a day-to-day basis was smaller and less ornate than the crown he wore on ceremonial occasions.

Thinner, lighter weight crowns are referred to as "circlets". They are often made of delicate chain and precious gems or crafted from elegant strips of precious metals. This type of crown is primarily worn by women, though less dainty versions are sometimes worn by men.
