EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Imperial State Crown, a magnificent masterpiece of art and history, as it was worn on State occasions in the 1960s. The crown, commissioned for the coronation of King George VI in 1937, is part of the Royal Collection housed at the Tower of London. The Imperial State Crown, adorned with an array of precious stones, is a symbol of the British monarchy's rich heritage. At the forefront of the image, the Balas Ruby, also known as the Black Prince's Ruby, catches the eye. This ruby, given to the Black Prince in the 14th century, is one of the oldest and most renowned jewels in the collection. The ruby is set in the front of the crown, adding an air of antiquity and tradition to the opulent headpiece. The Imperial State Crown is a stunning display of the finest jewels, including the Cullinan II Diamond, also known as the Second Star of Africa, which is the largest cut diamond in the world. The crown's intricate design showcases a harmonious blend of the past and the present, as well as the opulence and grandeur associated with the British monarchy. This photograph, taken in the 1960s, is a testament to the enduring allure and significance of the Imperial State Crown, which continues to be a source of fascination and inspiration for people around the world.
