There is no doubt that the British monarchy was shaped and molded by bejeweled objects, which represented status, wealth and power. The power and allure of “bejeweled” objects captivates those seeking a connection to the past. The most famous diamonds and gems in the world are steeped in rich history and, while each precious gem has its own story to tell, their place in history was firmly established once they were set into crowns, rings, necklaces and scepters. In looking back at history, one would have to look no further than the “House of Windsor” to discover love, romance, intrigue and the most extensive and awe-inspiring collection of crown jewels in the world.
British Law dictates that the crown jewels can never leave England and therefore the original crown jewels are housed and displayed in the Tower of London. In order to share the wealth of history and the beauty of the British crown jewels with those in America, The House of Windsor Group has amassed an exclusive (private) collection, which includes royal portraits signed by Queen Mary and King George V (circa 1934), the Imperial State Crown, St. Edward’s Crown, the Queen Mary Crown, Queen Victoria’s Crown, the Imperial Crown of India, the Royal Scepter and the Sovereign’s Orb.
The highlight of The House of Windsor Group Collection is the entire Cullinan Diamond Collection (nine in total-including the rough). The Cullinan diamond yielded both the Star of Africa (530.20 carats), which adorns the Royal Scepter and the Second Star of Africa (317.40 carats), which was set into the front circlet of the Imperial State Crown.
Cullinan three (in concert with Cullinan four) adorns the crown of Queen Mary and Cullinan five replaced the Koh-I-noor in the coronation crown for King George VI.
Respected and revered designers, goldsmith's and jewelers (approved by the HM Tower of London) ensured that each object was entirely handmade and completed using traditional techniques. Care was given to each piece to preserve their intricate detail. In order to obtain the beauty of each piece, genuine precious and semi-stones have been included wherever possible.
The House of Windsor Group British Crown Jewels Collection is currently on display at Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida.
