In ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia, for example, kings and queens would embellish their headdresses with crown brooches to show who was in charge. Laurel crowns were often presented to the victorious in ancient Greek and Roman sports events and military operations.
Throughout the Medieval Ages, crowns were typically crafted from gold, jewels, and other expensive materials. Kings, queens, and other members of the aristocracy wore them to show the world that they were royalty. Courtiers and advisers often showed their devotion and fealty to the queen by wearing crown brooches.
Royalty still wore crowns, but throughout the Renaissance, they grew more elaborate in design. Pearls, diamonds, and other expensive jewels were often used as embellishments, and sometimes there would even be symbolic symbols and figures carved into the jewellery.
Crown brooches are still symbolic of royalty and leadership, but they are also used as fashion items and for home design. Collectors of vintage and antique jewellery love them, and they're often presented as awards for noteworthy accomplishments or mementos of momentous moments.
