Just be glad you don't live in Atlantia with its stupid new sumptuary laws for coronets and such.

STILL waiting to see photos of your Laurel ceremony!!! :-)

Other than the height restrictions, I don't see much there that isn't already outlined in Corpora. Viscomital coronets, maybe. I dislike the use of the word "must". What if you don't want pearls on the points? I made a leather coronet for my former apprentice sister that had stones on the sides because otherwise her kids would destroy the pearls on the points.

I didn't think Society rules mandated the heights of coronets? Patricia is in Atlantia, not the Republic of the East, so WE wouldn't have to worry about it... but I like things that aren't blatantly coronets, like hats that have "6 round motifs" etc, or kokoshniki. For me, a coronet is 'dressing down'. ;)

They don't, that's what I'm saying. The design of ducal and county coronets. AFAIK, is outlined in Corpora, but they don't specify proportions. I'm not sure about viscomital and baronial coronets. However, 2" total height including pearls is WAY TOO SHORT. There's no room for decoration at that size, unless your pearls are teensy tiny, and I use 10mm pearls when I make coronets, so there's 1/4" of your 2" allotment.
