The results are in from this week’s tiara contests!

The Danish Ruby Parure Tiara vs. The Danish Floral Aigrette

Okay, everybody — this was a wild ride. After two users attempted to stuff the ballot box (!) in this poll, I had to remove hundreds of fraudulent votes from the tally and change the security settings on the software we use to count the votes. (To reassure those who are convinced there’s some sort of agenda here: I do not care which tiaras/jewels win these polls. I do this for your entertainment. I’m working for accuracy in tallying your votes here, not angling for some pre-determined outcome, okay???) Anyway! The Danish Ruby Parure Tiara pulled off a win in this round, bringing in 59.12% of the vote, while 40.88% of you selected the Danish Floral Aigrette.

Queen Josefina’s Diamond Tiara vs. The Norwegian Emerald Parure Tiara

This was our only “upset” of the week! While Queen Josefina’s Diamond Tiara brought in 43.62% of your votes, the Norwegian Emerald Parure Tiara was the victor in this contest, chosen by 56.38% of voters.

The Leuchtenberg Sapphire Parure Tiara vs. The Swedish Aquamarine Kokoshnik

This was a seriously close one! Though the Swedish Aquamarine Kokoshnik was picked by 48.96% of you, the Leuchtenberg Sapphire Parure Tiara triumphed with 51.04% of the vote.

The Khedive of Egypt Tiara vs. Princess Benedikte’s Floral Birthday Tiara

Our final Wild Card round of the tournament was a runaway! The Khedive of Egypt Tiara dominated the competition, bringing in 74.52% of the vote, while Princess Benedikte’s Floral Birthday Tiara was preferred by 25.48% of voters.

No break between rounds this week: the votes for our Final Four candidates will begin bright and early tomorrow!
