This crown contains some of the most historic gems in the British Regalia including The Black Prince's Ruby, The Stuart Sapphire, The 2nd Star of Africa Diamond (the second largest diamond in the world weighing in at 317.40 Cts) and over 3000 other precious gems and pearls.

It was worn by HM Queen Elizabeth II in 1953 at her Coronation, and is now worn annually at The State Opening of Parliament. Entirely Handmade In England. Pewter scale miniature, silver plated, exquisitely hand set with 3 Austrian crystal stones, and fitted with a "Cap of Estate" and "Ermine" trim.
