Crowns and Coronets
Crowns are a symbol of monarchy, representing Kings and Queens, Princes and Princesses, and Dukes and Duchesses. A Coronet is another type of crown, but is reserved for the lower ranks of nobility like Marquesses and Marchionesses, Earls and Countesses, Barons and Baronesses, and some Lords and Ladys.
The specific design and attributes of the crown or coronet signifies the hierarchy and ranking of its owner. Denotations of ‘strawberry leaves’ and ‘pearls’ are used in differentiating the ranks of the Peerage.
