Random information on the term ” Tiara”:
The term aigrette (pronounced [ɛɡrɛt]; from the French for egret, or lesser white heron) refers to the tufted crest or head-plumes of the egret, used for adorning a headdress. The word may also identify any similar ornament, in gems.
Aigrettes, studded with diamonds and rubies, decorated the turbans of Ottoman sultans or the ceremonial chamfron of their horses. Several of these aigrettes are on display in the Treasury of the Topkapı Palace in Istanbul, Turkey. An aigrette was also formerly worn by certain ranks of officers in the French army.
During the late 19th and early 20th centuries a fad in women’s fashion for wearing extravagant and fanciful aigrettes resulted in large numbers of egrets and other birds being slaughtered by plume hunters for the millinery industry, until public reaction and government intervention caused the fad to end and demand for such plumes collapse.
The 61.50 carat (12.3 g) whiskey-coloured diamond, “The Eye of the Tiger”, was mounted by Cartier in a turban aigrette for the Jam Sahib or Maharajah of Nawanagar in 1934.
