A coronet is a small crown made of jewelry attached to a metal ring. According to one definition, a coronet differs from the crown in that the coronet never has arches and from the tiara in that a coronet completely encircles the head, but the tiara does not. According to a slightly different definition, the crown is worn by an emperor, empress, king, or queen; coronet by a nobleman or lady.

This distinction is not made in other languages since usually the same word is used to designate the crown, regardless of rank (Krone in German, kroon in Dutch, krona in Swedish, couronne in French, etc.)

The main use is not really on the head (indeed, many people eligible for a crown never did; the same applies even to the crowns of some monarchs, as in Belgium), but as a symbol of rank in heraldry adorning the coat of arms. The word stems come from the ancient French coronet, a diminutive of co (u) ronne (“crown”), itself from the Latin corona (also “wreath”), from the ancient Greek κορώνη (korōnē, “garland, wreath”)).

Traditionally, such hats – as indicated by the German equivalent of Adelskrone (literally “crown of nobility”) – are used by nobles, princes, and princesses in their coats of arms, rather than by monarchs, for whom the word crown is commonly used in official English. At the same time, many languages do not have this terminological distinction. Besides the crown, the crown shows the rank of the respective nobleman. Therefore, the term Rangkrone also exists in German and Scandinavian languages.

For equivalents, both physical and iconic, in other languages and cultures. In the United Kingdom, the peer wears the crown only once: at the royal coronation, when he wears the same standardized attire along with the coronation attire as the luxurious uniform.

In the promises of the United Kingdom, the design of the crown reveals the rank of its owner, as in German, French, and various other heraldic traditions. The dukes were the first to be allowed to wear crowns. Marquesses acquired crowns in the 15th century, earls in the 16th, and viscounts and barons in the 17th century. Until the barons were crowned in 1661, the crowns of earls, marquesses, and dukes were engraved, while the crowns of the viscounts were common. After 1661, however, the viscomital crowns were engraved, while the baronial crowns were common. Coronets cannot wear precious or semi-precious stones.
