- Synopsis
- This is a front view of the white gold Imperial State Crown of the United Kingdom. It is worn by the monarch for state occasions such as the opening of parliament. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the correct way up. The crown is encrusted with more than 3000 precious stones, including 2868 diamonds and 273 pearls. At the top of the image is a cross set with a large blue sapphire. Down the page, two of the four half-arches can be found curving down the page to the left and right. Each of them set with four large pearls. Further down the page is the fine texture of the purple velvet cap and down again, in the centre of the image, is one of the four crosses patte around the top of the band of the crown. It has a large ruby at its centre. On each side of this is a fleur-de-lis, one of the four around the band. There are two rows of pearls curving around the top and bottom of the crowns band and three large jewels at its centre. At the bottom of the image is a border of white ermine (a type of fur) with dark markings.
