Crown Jewels of the United Kingdom

April 30th, 2008

While sitting in the lobby of one of London hotels I started to wonder justs what the Crown Jewels of the United Kingdom consisted of. With a little research I learned the they consisted of the regalia and vestments worn by the sovereign of the United Kingdom during the coronation and other state functions. This consists of crowns, sceptres (with either the cross or the dove), orbs, swords, rings,spurs, colobium, sindonis, dalmatic, armill, and the royal robe or pall, as well as several other objects connected with the ceremony itself. So now if anyone asks you what the Crown Jewels are you will have an answer.
