The Crown Jewels of theUnited Kingdom
The collective term Crown Jewels refers to the regalia andvestments worn by the sovereign of the United Kingdom during thecoronation ceremony and at various other state functions. These includethe following objects: the crowns, scepters, orbs, swords, rings,spurs, colobium sindonis, dalmatic, armill, and the royal robe or pall,as well as several other objects connected with the ceremony itself.Theoldest set of Crown Jewels, dating from the Anglo-Saxon period,were lost by John of England near the Wash in 1216. A replacement setwas made shortly afterwards which was later joined by the addition ofWelsh prince Llywelyn\'s coronet in 1284. This replacement set wasstolen from Westminster Abbey in 1303 although most, if notall, wererecovered days later from the window of a London jeweler\'s shop(resulting in dire consequences for the shopkeeper).Oliver Cromwell melted down most of the original Crown Jewels of hisera after the establishment of the Commonwealth in 1649. Upon theRestoration of Charles II, most of the regalia had to be replaced. Theonly pieces to survive from before the Civil War are three swords and aspoon.The British Crown Jewels easily constitute the most valuable jewelrycollection in existence. The three most impressive pieces are describedbelow.The Scepter with the Cross wasmade in 1661, and is so called because it is surmounted by a cross. In1905, it was redesigned to incorporate the Cullinan I, also known asthe Great Star of Africa, which at over 530 carats (106 g) is thelargest cut diamond in the world. During the coronation, the monarchbears the Scepter with the Cross in the right hand.The Sovereign\'s Orb,a type ofglobus cruciger, is a hollow golden sphere made in 1661. There is aband of jewels running along the center, and a half-band on the tophemisphere. Surmounting the orb is a jeweled Cross representing theSovereign\'s role as Defender of the Faith. For a part of thecoronation, it is borne in the Sovereign\'s left hand.Of all the Crown Jewels, the most valuable is the Imperial State Crown,featured on this magnificent coin. The Crown is generally worn at theend of a coronation when the newmonarch departs from Westminster Abbey and is not traditionally theactualcrown used at the moment of coronation. However it was actually wornduring the ceremony by Queen Victoria and King Edward VII, both of whomcomplained about the weight of the normally-used crown, St. Edward\'sCrown.The Imperial State Crown is of a design similar to St. Edward\'s Crown;it includes a base of four crosses pattee alternating with fourfleurs-de-lis, above which are four half-arches surmounted by a cross.Inside is a deep purple velvet cap with an ermine border. The Crownincludes an incredible number of precious gems, including 2,868diamonds, 273 pearls, 17 sapphires, 11 emeralds, and 5 rubies!Among these are several world-famous jewels. The cross atop the Crownis set with a stone known as St. Edward\'s Sapphire, a sapphire takenfrom the ring (or possibly coronet) of Edward the Confessor. The BlackPrince\'s Ruby is set on the front cross pattee. Furthermore, the famousCullinan II Diamond, or Lesser Star of Africa, is set on the front ofthe Crown.The Black Prince\'s Ruby
TheBlackPrince\'s Ruby is actually a bead-shaped spinel weighing roughly 170carats (34 g), that is, the size of a chicken egg! It is one of theoldest of the Crown Jewels of the United Kingdom, with a known historydating back to the middle of the 14th century and having been in thepossession of the British kings since it was given in 1367 to itsnamesake, Edward of Woodstock (the \"Black Prince\").What is a spinel? Until fairly modern times, all red gemstones werereferred to as \"rubies\". It was only relatively recently that the rarerspinel has been differentiated from the more common ruby. The twogemstones can be distinguished on the basis of hardness and density - aruby is slightly harder and denser than a spinel. The two stones canalso be told apart by their optical properties: a true ruby is dichroicwhile a spinel is singly refractive.The Cullinan Diamonds(Stars ofAfrica)
The original, intact Cullinan Diamond was found by Frederick Wells,surface manager of the Premier Diamond Mining Company in Cullinan,Gauteng, South Africa on June 25 1905. It is the largest roughgem-quality diamond ever found, at 3,106.75 carats (621.35 g). Thestone was named after Sir Thomas Cullinan, the owner of the diamondmine.The stone was bought by the Transvaal government and presented to KingEdward VII of Great Britain. However, transport from South Africa toEngland posed a bit of a problem with regard to security. Well-knowndetectives from London were placed on a steamer ship that was rumoredto carry the stone, but this was a diversionary tactic. The stone onthat ship was a fake, meant to attract those who would be interested instealing it. The actual diamond was in fact sent to England in a plainbox via parcel post!The Cullinan was cut into three large parts by Asscher Brothers ofAmsterdam, and eventually into some 11 large gem-quality stones and anumber of smaller fragments. The largest polished gem from the stone isnamed Cullinan I or the Great Star of Africa, and at 530.20 carats(106.04 g) was the largest polished diamond in the world until the 1985discovery of the Golden Jubilee diamond (545.67 cts), also from thePremier mine. Cullinan I is now mounted in the head of the Scepter withthe Cross. The second largest gem from the Cullinan stone, Cullinan IIor the Lesser Star of Africa, at 317.40 carats (63.48 g), is the thirdlargest polished diamond in the world and is also part of the Britishcrown jewels, as it forms a part of the Imperial State Crown. Both gemsare on display at the Tower of London, as parts of the British crownjewels.
