The Royal Order of Sartorial Splendor: Tiara Thursday: Queen Victoria Eugenia's Aquamarine Tiara

I much prefer the original version of this tiara. I think it's absolutely stunning! The auqamarine version is nice but it's not one of my favorites.

I rather prefer the new version; it's quite elegant and versatile, and the aquamarines could probably be swapped for other stones - emeralds, rubies or pearls.
The original looks a bit like beauty contest crown - and not a very good one at that.

I also prefer the new form Artemisia,it would be lovely if this tiara made its way back into the Spanish collection.
