context_page_description: A coronet is a small crown consisting of ornaments fixed on a metal ring. By one definition, a coronet differs from a crown in that a coronet never has arches, and from a tiara in that a coronet completely encircles the head, while a tiara does not. By a slightly different definition, a crown is worn by an emperor, empress, king or queen; a coronet by a nobleman or lady. See also diadem.
  In other languages, this distinction is not made as usually the same word for crown is used irrespective of rank
  The main use is now actually not on the head but as a rank symbol in heraldry, adorning a coat of arms.
