At King Charles III's coronation, he will officially be crowned the country's sovereign in a religious service at Westminster Abbey. But the ceremony will actually involve two crowns.
While the crown looks regal with its velvet cap and its headband made of ermine, St Edward’s Crown is actually a replacement for the original medieval crown, believed to have originated with St Edward the Confessor, the last Anglo-Saxon king of England, in the 11th century.
This crown is similar to a crown designed for Queen Victoria in 1838 by the crown jewellers of the time, Rundell, Bridge & Rundell.Inside this scepter, one of two that Charles will use at the coronation, is the Cullinan I diamond, a 530.2-carat gem, also known as the First Star of Africa, which is the largest colorless cut diamond in the world.
The orb measures about 11 inches tall and weighs three pounds. The sphere is constructed from hollow gold and is adorned with emeralds, rubies, sapphires, diamonds, pearls, an amethyst and a glass stone.During Charles’ coronation, the Archbishop of Canterbury will place a ring on Charles’ fourth finger on his right hand.
