The Reign crown--Mary's coronation crown. For the queen in all of us--the crown pictured is the design seen and selected by the Reign costumer for Mary's coronation. In the crown I made for the show, I used pear-shaped jewels in place of some of the rectangle shapes on the centerpiece. It is a full round crown, alternating the fleur de lis with filigree crosses. The front is a graceful tiara shape that flatters the face and sits well on the head without requiring pins. All the jewels are of glass and the base is of brass. Beautiful as a Tudor crown, Renaissance crown, medieval crown, or wedding crown.
NOTE: This crown is made to order. It will take 4 to 6 weeks to be completed.
For a friend of mine, I included red jewels along with the clear ones. Please contact me if you want this option.
I have been making crowns and court jewelry for plays and my Renaissance Festival friends for many years and each item is an original design. For the crowns I look for new and vintage filigree and jewelry parts to suit my ideas. I carefully hand-wire each piece to the base, then finish off the ends of the wires with epoxy.

I am also glad to further embellish existing crowns with pearls and jewels etc.
