I'm not sure about the crown question. There is apparently a canonical official crown of Nargothrond and an official crown of Gondolin (the latter only in HoME, maybe?). But the High Kingship of the Noldor seems to be a bit more intangible than that and I can't trace mention of an actual crown right now. Fingon's canonical headgear is a white helm he wore at the Fifth Battle, but that doesn't quite sound like everyday wear. A lot of fan fiction (including mine) assumes there was some sort of crown, though--although it would be less likely to be an heirloom, under the circumstances and so perhaps have fewer associations. Early medieval kings used to wear their crowns officially at Easter, Pentecost and Christmas, I believe--suggesting that, in between, maybe not so much. This is of limited relevance, of course.
