I agree the effect is poor and disappointing, although I know at least part of that is due to lighting. I have seen the laurel leaf tiara Lady Mary wears in the previous seasons (including for her wedding) in real life in the window of Bentley & Skinner in London and it sparkles a lot more than it did on the telly!
