We extend our heartfelt condolences to the Royal Family.  Our thoughts are with them at this time.

The Crown Jewels, part of the Royal Collection, are the most powerful symbols of the British Monarchy and hold deep religious and cultural significance in our nation’s history. The mystique and beauty of the diamonds and precious jewels in the royal regalia have always held an unparalleled allure to visitors from across the globe. 

The earliest known use of a crown in Britain was discovered by archaeologists in 1988 in Deal, Kent. A sword, brooch, ceremonial shield, and decorated bronze crown with a single arch,which sat directly on the head of its wearer, were found inside the tomb of the Mill Hill Warrior
