Pageant crowns, such as tiaras, are a type of headwear traditionally worn by royalty and nobility. They are often made of precious metals and adorned with jewels and other decorations. In modern times, pageant crowns are used to signify the winner of a beauty pageant or other competition. The term 'TIARA' is derived from the Greek word for 'DIADEM, ' which was a type of crown worn by ancient Greek kings. Pageant crowns are typically made of metal, plastic, or fabric, and come in a variety of shapes and sizes.
