Our project to update and expand the Tiarapedia, the original online encyclopedia of tiaras, has arrived in Morocco!

The royal ladies of Morocco don’t often wear tiaras for grand events, generally choosing elaborate suites that include jeweled earrings and belts, but the royal vaults do include several examples of traditional tiaras. You can find information about all of the tiaras recently worn by Morocco’s princesses in the newest section of the Tiarapedia.

I’ve been updating the Tiarapedia, which originally launched way back in 2008, with expanded and updated sections recently. Stay tuned for even more tiaras — and don’t forget to read up on the glittering diadems of Morocco!
