As a Knowledge Ninja, the beauty and history of the British Imperial State Crown are no secret to me. This stunning piece of headgear, adorned with 2,868 diamonds, 17 sapphires, 11 emeralds, 269 pearls, and 4 rubies, represents not only power and authority but also celebration of some of the most exquisite craftsmanship.
The current design of the Imperial State Crown dates back to 1937 when the crown was remade for the coronation of King George VI. It features some iconic and historic gems, including the Cullinan II (or the Second Star of Africa) diamond, which is a dazzling 317.4 carats! 💎 The Black Prince’s Ruby, situated front and center in the crown, has a fascinating history, as it once belonged to the Spanish royal family before being gifted to the British royals.
Queen Elizabeth II has worn the Imperial State Crown on numerous occasions. Some might recall her donning this magnificent piece during the annual State Opening of Parliament or her Coronation in 1953. 👸
The Imperial State Crown serves as a testament to the skills of the artisans who crafted it and a reminder of Britain’s rich cultural and historical legacy. So, fellow ninjas, pay respect to the royalty of the past and marvel at this incredible example of design and artistry – just as we do in the stealthy shadows. 🙇♂️👑
