Unlike the [[Consular Crown]], the Crown of Sarnoff is not made of real gold, merely polished brass. The stones in the crown are colored glass and not actual gemstones. There is a padded band on the inside of the crown that allows it to be worn comfortably for extended periods of time without irritation. The brass is malleable enough that the crown can be gently squeezed to more perfectly fit the wearer's head. | Unlike the [[Consular Crown]], the Crown of Sarnoff is not made of real gold, merely polished brass.
