The Imperial Crown of State
The Imperial Crown of State is the crown worn by the Sovereign upon all State occasions. The present Crown has two complete arches which pass from front to back and from side to side, and on the top is the central orb surmounted by a jewelled cross. The wide jewelled base of the Crown has set in its centre the second Star of Africa. Above the jewelled band are alternating gem-studded crosses and fleurs-de-lis. The central stone of the central cross is the famous ruby of the Black Prince which was first heard in 1367, when it was already several hundred years old. At the point of intersection of the two arches, on the top of the Crown, hang four large pearls, once the earrings of Queen Elizabeth I; and in the jewelled cross surmounting the orb is King Edward the Confessor's sapphire. In all, the imperial State crown contains 2,783 diamonds, 277 pearls, 16 sapphires, 11 emeralds and 4 rubies.
