The Akishino Tiara is worn by the current Crown Princess of Japan, Princess Kiko.

The origins of the tiara are unclear, but it made its first appearance at the wedding of then-Kiko Kawashima and the second son of Emperor Akihito of Japan, Fumihito. He became Prince Akishino upon his marriage and has been the Crown Prince of Japan since his brother’s accession to the throne in 2019.

The design of the tiara is based on Kiko’s imperial emblem, the iris flower. It consists of pearls and diamonds, which is traditional in Japan.

The tiara is part of a parure and Crown Princess Kiko has worn the matching necklace as well.
