You will be a crown of splendor in the LORD's hand, a royal diadem in the hand of your God. Isaiah 62:3
A while ago we had seen how we are the signet ring of our Lord. Here we read that we are the crown of splendor in the Lord's hand, a royal diadem or wreath in the hand of our God. To me the reference as a signet ring or a crown or royal diadem held at hand kind of all mean the same thing - precious!
Of course crown is different from a signet ring in its purpose. The crown glorifies the king, signet ring attests the authority of its bearer.
Normally a crown is worn in the head not held at hand - except when the King is about to wear it, of course. Let us not waste our focus on why it says "crown in the Lord's hand and not head". The point here is that we are very precious to our Lord.
Geneva Study Bible explains it crisp and clear:

He will value you as dear and precious as a king does his crown.Would a king forget or give up his crown? Not our King! We are very precious for Him.
