The crown was built for Queen Victoria in 1838, but many of the individual gems on it are older.
Sapphire, which was once embedded in Edward the Confessor's ring, has a history of 1000 years. The pearl on it comes from the famous Queen Elizabeth I ... and there is a final diamond: Africa Star II (Cullinan II), which weighs about 3 17.4 carats.
