The Imperial State Crown was first worn by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II when she processed from Westminster Abbey on the day of her Coronation on 2 June 1953. It was originally made for the Coronation of her father, King George VI in 1937.
Upon the Restoration of the monarchy in 1660, a new state crown was made for Charles II by Sir Robert Vyner. About 10 versions of the crown have existed since the Restoration. The one made for Queen Victoria in 1838 is the basis for today's crown.
The Imperial State Crown was made for the Coronation of King George VI in 1937 replacing a crown made for Queen Victoria. The crown is set with 2,868 diamonds, as well as several famous jewels. It includes St Edward's Sapphire, said to have been worn in a ring by Edward the Confessor.
In 1953 Elizabeth II opted for a stylised image of this crown to be used on coats of arms, badges, logos and various other insignia in the Commonwealth realms to symbolise her royal authority, replacing the image of a Tudor-style crown adopted in 1901 by Edward VII.
Queen Elizabeth II owned a historic collection of jewels – some as monarch and others as a private individual. They are separate from the gems and jewels of the Royal Collection, and from the coronation and state regalia that make up the Crown Jewels.
