Saint Edward's Crown

Saint Edward's Crown is one of the most important crowns in British history, traditionally used during the coronation of monarchs. Made in 1661, it is named after Saint Edward the Confessor, a king known for his piety. This crown is made of gold and features exquisite jewels, including sapphires, garnets, and diamonds. Unlike other crowns, it is not worn regularly and is kept as a ceremonial symbol of royal authority. Its distinctive design includes a solid base with a circular pattern, topped with a cross, and it represents the divine right and responsibility of the monarch.
