What is the difference between a tiara and a circlet?
The difference between a tiara and a circlet is the design. A tiara is a headpiece that fits around half of the head and usually forms an arch shape. A circlet extends either all the way or most of the way around the head but often has the same shape in the front. On 1stDibs, shop a range of tiaras.
