Vintage 1981 Rhinestone Honor Queen Tiara — Job's Daughters, with Documented Provenance
Up for sale is a vintage rhinestone tiara worn in a1981 Job's Daughters Honor Queen crowning ceremony. Job's Daughters International (formally the International Order of Job's Daughters) is a Masonic-affiliated youth organization for girls, and this tiara comes directly from a Bethel's crowning ceremony — a genuine piece of fraternal/Masonic history, not a generic costume piece.
Design:Clear rigid plastic band set with silver-tone prong-mounted clear rhinestones in a scrolling, wave-like pattern. The center front features a rosette design with a bezel-set round cabochon "jewel" (foiled glass, moonstone-style, showing light age-related patina/oxidation — see close-up photos) surrounded by a spray of rhinestones. One clear plastic hair combs is built into the band for securing it in the hair (one comb has fallen off in the decades since the Crowning).
Why this piece is special:Unlike mass-produced "wedding tiara" reproductions flooding the market today, this is a genuine early-1980s piece with actual event history behind it — a rare find for Job's Daughters alumnae, Masonic family collectors, or anyone building a collection of fraternal/sorority regalia.
