I knew there were several Tiaras, but didn't realize there were that many! I had never heard of Ghost Tiara or Russian Tiara.

I check for Russian Tiara, Silver Tiara and Jade Tiara before writing this post but I didn't find them in the Hosta Library so I deduced that they don't exist Hosta Library is not like a Bible!!!! My faith have failure

Isn't 'Touchstone' a Tiara too? When I bought mine, it was sold as 'Touchstone Tiara' Matter of fact, it's how I have it labeled now.

Grand Prize is a TC sport of Grand Tiara, I think. Not sure if that counts since it isn't a "tiara."

I thought once long ago to try to collect all the tiaras, but couldn't find anything out about alot of them. I would be very interested to know where one may acquire all these tiaras.

I only have Grand Tiara, Golden Tiara, Diamond Tiara, Platinum Tiara, Emerald Tiara, Heavenly Tiara, Amber Tiara and Grand Prize.... Had Crystal Tiara, but lost it to the freeze this spring.

The Tiara I would assume refers to the edge being reminiscent of a crown type of headband like a princess would wear. Golden Tiara is the first one that I heard of, and I think the most common. I think I heard in his lecture or read in his book that Mark Zilis paid $40 for it when it was new.
