DIAMOND LAND

It’s the 60th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth’s reign this year, an excellent occasion to take a closer look at the British royalty of course. Today we’ll be admiring the jewellery that is typical for British monarchs, we’re talking about the crown jewels of course.

'Crown jewels' is actually a term that refers to more than just plain jewellery. Of course there are many crowns, but the Crown Jewels of the United Kingdom also contain such prizes as jewelled swords used during coronations, orbs, sceptres and the famous Koh-i-Noor diamond.
