Sparkling Royal Jewels From Around the World

Yesterday, we chatted about the most-worn British crown, the Imperial State Crown. Today, we’ve got a deep-dive into the history of the jewel that quite literally crowns the monarch: St. Edward’s Crown.

This week, the Queen will celebrate the 68th anniversary of her coronation at Westminster Abbey. For the next few days, we’ll be looking at some of the crown jewels worn during and after the ceremony. Today, our focus is on the most familiar crown from the British collection: the Imperial State Crown.
