Who can introduce the crown of the British emperor?
In Europe, the royal families of all countries have always been big customers of jewelry. The jewelry owned by the royal family brings together the essence of world jewelry, and the most striking one is the symbol of the throne. The symbol of kingship is not only the ornament of the king, but also the tangible material evidence and symbol of the throne and kingship rights. Because the crown is the most symbolic symbol of kingship, and Britain has always lacked stories about the crown, so here, I will simply tell you about the British crown.

The crown of the British royal family belongs to the state. The treasure house of the Tower of London has been on display since the 17th century, and now it attracts two million people to visit it every year. The Tower of London was built during the reign of King William I of England. William I is keen on traveling. When he went out, he carefully hid these priceless jewels under the bed of Winchester Palace to prevent the royal jewels from being stolen. To tell the truth, when the king is in this position, it is really a bit of a failure. Perhaps William I felt something was wrong more and more, and he gradually got the idea of building the Tower of London. During the reign of King Henry III of England, the king finally inherited the legacy of his predecessor and established the first royal storage room in the tower. 1303, Henry III's heir, King Edward I of England of England, moved a full set of royal symbols from Westminster Abbey to the Tower of London, so that at least in terms of preservation, the British royal jewels finally had a little king's breath.

1605, King James I of England issued a royal decree, declaring that the symbol of kingship is an inalienable part of the kingdom and should be reserved for future generations forever. However, you never know, sometimes even the king has to bend over for five buckets of rice. When Charles I, the heir of James I, succeeded to the throne in 1625, due to lack of funds, he had to forget his predecessor's last words and was forced to sell some royal jewels and gold tableware, which was a disgrace to the royal family. Fortunately, in 1660, when King charles ii of England began to rule the Stuart dynasty, he recreated a set of royal symbols for his coronation ceremony. This set is different from the previous symbols of kingship, which symbolizes dignity, justice, kindness and courage, and requires the king to maintain these virtues. Since then, nothing like Charles I has happened.

At the same time, since King charles ii of England, the symbol of kingship has also added a new content, that is, the crown granted to the emperor's spouse. 1902, Queen Victoria's eldest daughter-in-law was crowned Queen Alexandra, and the frame of her back crown was made of platinum, which was no longer traditional gold. This crown is inlaid with 3,685 diamonds, among which the famous "Indian Jin Gangzuan" is inlaid in the center of the front, with the emphasis on 106 carats. Queen Alexandra was the first queen to wear "Indian Jin Gangzuan". Since "Jin Gangzuan of India" is considered unsuitable for male monarchs, it has become the practice of the British royal family to wear "Jin Gangzuan of India" on the queen's crown.

However, in British history, the most famous crowns are George IV Crown and Imperial Crown.
