Questions About 1930s Tiara
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023
    What a tiara symbolizes is largely a matter of interpretation. Historically, tiaras signified the departure from maidenhood into married life, while today, many people simply associate them with royalty. While traditionally, only married women were allowed to wear them — which partly explains their popularity among brides — these days anyone can. More and more jewelry lovers are donning gem-set headpieces for special occasions, from white-tie dinners to New Year’s Eve fetes. Find an assortment of tiaras on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021
    A tiara is an ornate piece of jewelry that is worn by jewelry lovers of all kinds during formal occasions. A diadem is a crown that is worn by monarchs as a symbol of royalty. Both are decorative headpieces. Shop a range of antique and vintage tiaras on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    A tiara looks like the front half of a crown worn on top of the head. It usually has an arched or pointed shape and shows off sparkling gemstones, such as diamonds, rubies or sapphires. On 1stDibs, find a collection of tiaras.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 31, 2023
    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.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023
    The main difference between a tiara and a diadem is the specificity of the shape. A tiara is a semicircular headpiece that typically arches upward toward the middle, while a diadem is a semicircular headpiece of any shape. All tiaras are diadems, but not all diadems can be classified as tiaras. Shop a collection of tiaras from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023
    Yes, people had record players in the 1930s. In fact, record players began to become more common during the decade and continued to grow in popularity throughout the 1940s, 50s and 60s. Thomas Edison made the first phonograph record player in 1877. Shop a variety of record players on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 31, 2023
    In the 1930s, phones typically looked like rotary telephones. They had either a round or square base with a numbered dial that spun when you dialed and a handset receiver with both an earpiece and a mouthpiece. A cord connected the handset to the base. Find a variety of rotary phones on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertJune 30, 2023
    What brides wore in the 1930s varied. Some wore long flowing dresses made of satin or silk. Long sleeves were popular and designs often featured only minimal embellishments like appliqués and beading. Because many people faced difficult financial situations due to the Great Depression, brides also sometimes simply wore their best dresses on their wedding days. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of vintage wedding dresses.
