I've been using Gemling Queen for years, and absolutely love both the Gamwich and Jewels of the Nord textures, but I was disappointed that there were not matching circlet textures for the vanilla circlet design. I know there's some really good replacers (and I've used them in the past) but for those seeking a more vanilla look, this should hopefully give the vanilla design a little more sparkle.

The textures here will work for vanilla circlets, or Gemling Queen circlets, as they're just texture replacers. No esp required. Gemling Queen is highly recommended though. :)

There may be a slight color mismatch between the front of the circlet and the back. I used a metal texture overlay to add a bit more detailing, and its color variations and the way the texture is mapped to the UV caused some darkening for the back. I only noticed after I packed up the files, and because for most people this will be covered by hair or hoods, I decided not to bother redoing everything just to fix it. Chalk it up to imperfections in the metal smelting process or something. 

Pick the size you like. Vanilla circlets use the same size as the 1K (1024x512). Images provided are using the 2K version.

Final Note: I'm not online much, and I rarely check the comments.
