In Avalir's ceremonies, given its complementary name, The City of Crowns, it's common to wear a headpiece as a symbol of your station and they go as such:
Septarion
A Kokoshnik-style crown in pure gold bearing seven gemstones. In high elvish is enscripted the very cliche "Knowledge is Power".
Eldamir, being "head of state", bears an extra stone, a big ass diamond.
Apprentices, Ring of Gold
Diadem or Circlet, usually simple in style, of fewer karats than those above, bearing a central gem that represents their Septarion mentor.
Octothurge
A two-centimeters-thick silver circlet, the base for the emblems of each of the schools of wizardry placed in the center of a eight-petal flower.
Ring of Silver
A thin circlet in parallel filigrees with discreet leaves ornamenting it.
Along with that, as a symbol of her family, Patia wears a delicate crystals and pearls snood.
Magisterium
A chain of gold with a curtain of thinner chains over the eyes like a mask (justice is blind shtick).
Court of Owls
Laurel-like circlet of gold feathers.
The head of court wears a crown in the shape of an owl spreading out its wings
Court of Working
Simple straight laurel wreath of palladium metal.
Laerryn, as Architect Arcane, wears an elaborate laurel diadem of Mithral metal with flowers, minuscule pearls and a down-facing point, reminiscent of elven crowns.
First Knight
Usually worn over a light chainmail hood, it's of simpler metal and inscribed with the vows the Knight swears when nominated.
Loquatius
None of his titles actually bears a crown, but having earned the respect and love of those in the upper echelons, Quay earned himself a crown as the city's Herald and Scribe
Thranduil-style crown (yes, he went full-on fey prince) coming to points on his cheekbones, the backpiece resembles flames. Also made of Mithral to match Laerryn's.
