Except that we disagree about the fringes, I concur with everything you have said, Arthur! I actually think QEII did a nice job of supplementing her tiara collection with the colored stone tiaras. The sapphire and ruby ones are quite nice. As for the aquamarine, it is heavy but I much prefer it to the original band. I think if the Queen found another use for the large central aquamarine and replaced it with the next largest one from the necklace, that would be a fine tiara.
