Rim-kokoshnik BRIDE

The story goes that an expensive pearl kokoshnik, as a rule, was worn at a wedding, as well as on holidays and special occasions. It was part of the traditional wedding dress even after the revolution, though not for long — until 1920.
On the day of the Intercession, the girls prayed: “ Holy Mother of God, cover my exuberant head with a pearl cocoon, a golden slap on the back of the head!” In the XIX century, it was customary to wear a kokoshnik in the merchant, middle-class and peasant environment, and in pre-Petrine Russia — and in the boyar. Russian Russian princess Catherine II, a former German princess, posed in it to emphasize her connection with Russian culture and traditions, and in the time of Nicholas I, the stylized kokoshnik became part of the court dress for ladies-in-waiting and state ladies..

The peak of fashion for kokoshniki fell on the 1920s, when a flood of emigrants from Russia poured abroad. Representatives of noble dynasties, in order to survive, sold jewelry, among which were luxurious diamond tiaras that resembled kokoshniks – - in these the last Russian empresses appeared at solemn events. This fashion was adopted by the wives of the British monarchs Edward VII and George V, and in the English royal family, headdresses-headbands, the prototype of which was the Russian kokoshnik, are still worn for weddings and important events. Both Princess Eugenie of York and Meghan Markle were married in such diamond tiaras. And Kate Middleton was seen in a variation of the kokoshnik at the christening of Prince Louis.
The crown-kokoshnik is made entirely by hand on a steel, but well-bent and strong base, due to which it can be easily adjusted in size. The kokoshnik is perfect for holding on the head and does not fly even when there is activity.
Embroidered with artificial pearls of various diameters, beads with rhinestones, as well as Swarovski crystals, glass and faceted beads and beads.
