EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken from the esteemed pages of The Sketch in 1937, offers a glimpse into the rich history and opulence of the Coronation Regalia of King George VI. The image showcases an array of priceless jewels that adorned the state crown worn during his coronation. At the top left, the St. Edwards Sapphire, a stunning blue sapphire, holds a significant place in the regalia. Legend has it that this sapphire was part of the Coronation ring of Edward the Confessor in the 11th century. The Star of Africa, located at the top centre, is a captivating diamond with a storied past. This diamond, part of the Cullinan Diamond discovered in 1905 in the Premier mine in Pretoria, South Africa, is the largest piece of the diamond ever found. The Black Prince's Ruby, situated at the top right, is another mesmerizing gemstone in the state crown. This ruby once belonged to the King of Granada in the 14th century. The Stuart Sapphire, located at the centre bottom, is another historical gemstone. It is believed to have once belonged to King Charles II. These precious stones, including the Koh-i-Noor diamond, which is not featured in this image, have been passed down through generations and have played a crucial role in the coronations of British monarchs for centuries. The allure of these jewels lies not only in their beauty but also in the intriguing tales they tell of history and royalty.
