chaplet

A chaplet is a wreath without stems or ribbon, made of oak, laurel or other leaves, and carrying flowers, usually roses. It is a symbol of fame and is frequently part of a crest. There is also a chaplet that looks like a plain, broad circlet, charged at four regular intervals with stars, roses or other objects. A chaplet of oak and acorns is called a civic crown, but more frequently the chaplet is synonymous with wreath or garland, which is commonly made of laurel and roses.
