@futurebird one of the joys of the past is realizing that aesthetics are not objective. This crown is beautiful because it's got so many stones on it. It's so big! Look at how shiny it is. More is more.
Yeah this isn't our aesthetics, but for this guy it ruled. Heck he made the walls of the chapel he built to house his Pokemon collection, I mean, his relic collection look like gems in gold.
