Queen Elizabeth has been the longest reigning monarch in the history of the UK. With all the changes that have happened around her in all that time, there are some things which have remained the same since the beginning, such as the royal jewels. This collection comprises some of the loveliest pieces of jewelry the world has seen.
The Royal Diamond Ring
Set with the majestic Cullinan IX
diamond, this
ring is rarely seen adorning the finger of a royal family member, owing to their need to wear gloves in public. The
diamond is
pear-cut and set into a claw formation.
The Royal Scepter
Holding the Cullinan I, a humongous 530.2
carat diamond in a
classic pear cut, this scepter has a cross on top.
The Royal Crown
Set with the 317.4-
carat Cullinan II, an incredibly beautiful stone, the Royal Crown has purple fabric as background for an assortment of
pearls and colored
gems.
The Royal Brooch
Holding both the Cullinan III and Cullinan IV stones, cut as
cushion and
pear respectively, this wonderful brooch carries a total of 157
carats of white
diamond, which is a lot considering it is essentially just a brooch.
