The tiara has a history that dates back centuries, beginning with ornamental headbands (or diadems, from the Greek diádēma) worn by both royal men and women. Among the modern world's most famous tiaras are the British royal family's Burmese Royal Tiara and the Spencer Tiara worn by Princess Diana on her wedding day. Arguably, Sweden's most famous tiara is Queen Silvia's Braganza Tiara, which she regularly wears during state visits.
Many of the bridal crowns listed for auction are 20th-century pieces made in Sweden, most often wrought in silver and occasionally in gilded metal. These were often fashioned by renowned silversmiths such as Wiwen Nilsson, Gustav Dahlgren and the Cecon company.
