I don't think that was ever stated. Teka tells Aerin that Aerinha taught the
men of Damar honor and swordfighting, to Aerin's disgust. I don't think the
Crown is ever given an origin. It's tidy to assume that Aerin's mother was
Aerinha, or inspired the tales of her, given the conjunction of name, power,
and bias against her own gender, and then to think she made the Crown as well,
but I'm pretty sure we don't know that.
