The History of the Original:
The St. Edward's Crown
(1661) is the actual crown of Coronation, and is made of Gold, weighs five pounds and set with precious and semiprecious stones.
It is reputed to have been the crown of Edward the Confessor.
During the time of Cromwell, most of the Crown Jewels were melted into coinage, but it would appear that the original crown was saved, and incorporated into the crown made for the Coronation of Charles II in 1661.
The Crown Jewels of Great Britain represent not only Britain's greatest treasures, they also represent the long history of the times and monarchs who wore them. This beautiful miniature will be a treasured heirloom, and a lasting reminder of the glorious 50 years reign of our Queen.
