Diamonds used to be a symbol of power and wealth. The history of human exploitation and utilization of diamonds has been nearly a thousand years, but diamonds larger than 20 carats are extremely rare, and diamonds larger than 100 carats are regarded as national treasures. There are several such national treasures in the collection of British royal family. But now the royal family is no longer blindly pursuing to concentrate all the biggest diamonds on the crown.

You know, when King William IV was crowned in 1830, he played a joke and failed to enjoy himself. The luxurious monarch insisted on setting all diamonds and precious stones in the crown. As a result, the crown was too heavy, and the king had a sharp pain in his neck, so he had to interrupt the coronation ceremony and then pull out a molar.

The crown of the British Empire is inlaid with several precious gems in human history, such as the famous "black prince Gem" (the center of the crown headquarters is red), the world's second largest diamond "Africa Star II" (the lower center of the crown) and St. Edward sapphire (the center of the cross at the top of the crown).

The crown is inlaid with four rubies, 1 1 emerald, 16 sapphires, 227 pearls and more than 2,800 diamonds of various sizes.
