Hello I'm new here. Just wanted to ask cause I'm a bit confused. What is a "High Jewelry Tiara" and how does it differ from a 'normal tiara?🤔

Oh, that's what I call the series I do of tiaras that are made by jewelers for their high jewelry collections because I'm very creative. It's basically just a modern tiara that was not made for a specific person and that anyone could buy if they were like a billionaire or something.

High jewelry is the jewelry equivalent of haute couture so each piece is made by hand using really high quality materials and is usually one of a kind. You'll also see it called haute joaillerie or occasionally alta gioielleria. I don't know why it gets translated but haute couture does not. For the big jewelry houses like Boucheron and Chaumet, the release of their high jewelry collections often coincides with when fashion houses release their haute couture collections. I kind of fudge the definition a bit with the inclusion of tiaras made with less precious materials like those by Axenoff and Maria Nilsdotter but I want to feature them so I do.

You can see all of the High Jewelry Tiaras series so far here and there are still a bunch that I haven't made posts for yet. Unlike with clothing, jewelry houses don't release their full collection publicly which annoys me. There will be a set group that's in all of the magazines and on social media but the full collection can only be seen by a select few. Sometimes I think that's changing and then I'll stumble across a Cartier tiara that wasn't included in the promo materials for a new collection and I get frustrated all over again.

Here's some articles about the most recent collections if you want to drool over them too.
