What body is a Coronet?

A coronet is a small crown worn by members of the nobility, typically ranking below a full crown. It is a symbol of rank and status, often associated with specific titles or positions within the aristocratic hierarchy.


Understanding Coronets


Coronets are a type of headpiece that have been used in various forms throughout history, particularly in European royal and noble traditions. They are typically made of precious metals, such as gold or silver, and may be adorned with gemstones or other decorative elements. The specific design and style of a coronet can vary depending on the rank or title of the wearer.


Coronets are often associated with the following noble titles:



  • Duke or Duchess: A coronet with eight strawberry leaves

  • Marquess or Marchioness: A coronet with four strawberry leaves and four silver balls

  • Earl or Countess: A coronet with eight silver balls

  • Viscount or Viscountess: A coronet with sixteen silver balls

  • Baron or Baroness: A plain gold band


The use of coronets as a symbol of nobility has its roots in the Middle Ages, when they were worn by members of the aristocracy to denote their social status and rank. Over time, the specific designs and styles of coronets have evolved, but they continue to be an important part of the regalia and heraldic traditions of many European countries.
