Maybe the wedding diadem worn by Lady Mary Crawley was real but for an example the diadem Christina talked about (worn by Mrs Martha Levinson, played by Shirley MacLaine) was really so awfully plastic from the back side. A real diadem will show the silver/gold/platinum frame and real diamonds will still show sparkle from the backside. That one indeed was a very poor plastic diadem, and that was supposedly worn my an American millionaire heiress!
The strange thing is that everything was so perfect, the settings, the decors, the wardrobes.... everthing but the jewels!
