Get ready to feel like royalty on May 24, because it's Tiara Day! This fun holiday celebrates the beauty and elegance of tiaras, which have been worn by women for centuries as a symbol of power and prestige. The word "tiara" comes from the Greek word "tiara", meaning "white linen". In ancient times, tiaras were often made of fabric or leaves, but they have evolved into stunning pieces adorned with jewels and precious metals. So whether you own a real tiara or just want to wear one for the day, get ready to embrace your inner princess and celebrate this special day in style!
