The Coronets of Rising Waters

The Barony has two sets of coronets, and this article will focus on the set currently worn by Her Excellency, Sciath. 

The coronet pictured here, was created by Dame Eleanor Cadfan in 1999-2000 as the late period coronets worn by the Baron and Baroness of Rising Waters. The first Baron and Baroness to wear these coronets were Baron Tancred of Tanglewood and Baroness Rosalinda Margareta de la Fuentes, who sat the Baronial High Seats from Nov 11, 2000 to Nov 26, 2005. Although Sciath wears this coronet with lapis spheroids, the spheroids were originally aventurine stone. By custom, when a new Baron and Baroness are invested in Rising Waters, they wear the early Medieval coronets, and switch to these later period coronets afterwards. The box was purchased by Sir Richard and HE Annabelle, and painted by Mistress Rachael Catherine McLellan. 

Made from brass, the coronets are decorated with six cut-work elements, topped with lapis spheroids, and eight plates with goblets – the baronial charge in flourish depicted with repousse and chasing  (pictured below).
