Tiara Retailers & Crowns
Retailers selling tiaras, crowns, scepters and crown pins
The tiara and crown trade serves the ceremonial calendar: pageants, proms, homecomings, weddings and stage work, where the crown is both prize and symbol and has to sparkle under lights, photograph well and survive being awarded year after year. ACrowns, the retailer listed here, is a manufacturer-retailer of long standing: housed in a 75,000 square foot solid brick building built in 1922, in the awards business since 1975, and making its own line of crowns and tiaras since 1980. The scale of the making is industrial craft: each year the company uses more than a quarter of a million feet of rhinestone chain and nearly 100,000 individual rhinestones in its crowns, and it insists on the finest Austrian rhinestones because the quality of the stones is crucial to the quality of the crown. Alongside tiaras and crowns, ACrowns provides pageant sashes, scepters and crown pins, and sashes for homecoming kings and queens and for proms, the full regalia set from a single maker, which is how pageant and school buyers prefer to order it.

ACrowns : Built in 1922, their
75,000 square foot solid brick building makes them a real "Bricks and
Mortar" company. They have been in the awards business since 1975,
and began making their own line of crowns and tiaras in 1980. Over 25
years of experience is at your disposal. Each year, they use more
than a quarter of a million feet of rhinestone chain and nearly 100,000
individual rhinestones in their crowns. The quality of the stones is
crucial to the quality of the crowns, so they use only the finest
Austrian rhinestones. In addition to tiaras, they provide pageant
sashes, scepters and crown pins. The sashes are also available for
homecoming king or homecoming queen and sashes for proms.

Buying Regalia That Lasts
A crown bought for a single crowning and a crown bought as an institution's permanent trophy are different purchases. The second kind, the ACrowns specialty, rewards construction: stones set rather than glued where possible, plating that tolerates handling, and a maker who will still exist when the design needs matching or repair. Storage matters equally; rhinestone work wants a dry, padded box, away from the perfumes and hairsprays of crowning night.
The supporting regalia deserves the same care in ordering. Sashes carry the titles and must match the crown's formality, scepters complete a winner's photograph, and crown pins let titleholders wear the honor daily without the crown itself. Ordering the set from one maker keeps metals, stones and satin colors consistent across the whole ceremony.
Common Questions
What are pageant crowns and tiaras made from?
A metal base, plated and set with rhinestones, in serious quantity: ACrowns uses more than a quarter of a million feet of rhinestone chain and nearly 100,000 individual rhinestones a year across its crown production. Stone quality drives the result, which is why the company specifies Austrian rhinestones: under stage and camera light, better stones give the fire that separates a crown from a costume piece.
Who buys tiaras and crowns from a specialist retailer?
Pageant organizations first, then schools for homecoming and prom courts, wedding parties for bridal tiaras, and theaters and event producers. The specialist's advantage is range and continuity: ACrowns has made its own line since 1980, so a pageant can reorder a matching crown design across years, and the same order can add the sashes, scepters and crown pins that complete the ceremony.
What is the difference between a tiara and a crown?
A tiara is an open-backed arc worn on top of the head, the bridal and pageant-princess form, light and often comb- or pin-secured. A crown in the pageant sense is a fuller, often closed band or tall form that sits as a complete circle or peak, the winner's and royalty form. Retailers in this trade sell both, plus the scepters and sashes that share the stage, and buyers choose by the ceremony's own tradition.
