Great Britain's Crown Jewels

The British Crown Jewels are one of the most popular pieces of jewelry in all the world. This includes all te regalia and vestments worn by the Kings and Queens of the UK during the coronation ceremony and other important events. This article is about the famous pieces making up the British Crown Jewels. Hope you enjoy it!

Crowns

There are a number of crowns included in the British Crown Jewels. St. Edwards Crown is the first. This crown was made in 1661 and includes 444 precious stones. It's made of gold and is extremely heavy according to some British monarchs.

The Imperial State Crown is another one. It was made for King George VI in 1937. It too is made of gold. The crown includes 5 rubies, 11 emeralds, 17 sapphires, 273 pearls, and 2,868 diamonds! The Cullinan II is one of the diamonds included in the Imperial State Crown, which is also called the Lesser Star of Africa.

The Imperial Crown of India is stored with Great Britain's Crown Jewels, however it's not considered one of them. The Crown Jewels were to never enter another country, and therefore this crown was created for King George V as he visited Delhi.

Wives of Kings more than likely wore the Crown of Mary of Modena. It seemed like with each new Queen consort, a new crown was made for them to wear. In each crown, the famous Koh-i-Noor diamond was placed.

Orbs & Sceptres

The Sceptre with the Cross is held by the monarch in his Right Hand during the coronation. It includes the famous Cullinan I Diamond, which is called the Great Star of Africa.

The Sceptre with the Dove has a dove atop it which symbolizes the Holy Spirit. It was created in 1661, the same year that the Sceptre with the Cross was made. This Sceptre is held in the Left Hand while the right hand hold onto the Sceptre with the Cross. At this moment, the monarch is crowned with St. Edward's Crown.

The Sovereign's Orb was created in 1661 also and is made of gold. On top of the Sovereign's Orb is a cross which represents the monarch's role as Defender of the Faith.

Other Crown Jewels

During the coronation, five swords are used. The Jewelled Sword of Offering, the Sword of State, the Sword of Spiritual Justice, the Sword of Temporal Justice, and the Sword of Mercy are all five swords.

The Crown Jewels have been kept in the Tower of London since 1303! Armed guards defend them.

This special collectible tin also includes bonus features containing biographies, timelines, rare photographs and maps! The year 1540 was a crucial turning point in American history. The Great Indian Wars were incited by Francisco Vazquez de Coronado when his expedition to the Great Plains launched the inevitable 350 year struggle between the white man and the American Indians. From that point forward, the series of battles between the United States and the Native American Indians began where blood was shed and ultimately tens of thousands of lives were lost on both sides. The Battle of Tippecanoe, the Battle of Horseshoe Bend, all three Seminole Wars and the Battle of Little Big Horn were some of the most important conflicts that led up to the last massacre, the Battle of Wounded Knee, where Americas landscape would be forever changed.

When young Jim Hawkins inherits a long-lost treasure map, he hires the great ship Hispaniola to seek his fortune.

Our heroes arrive in London to interview Lady Holiday (Diana Rigg), a high-fashion designer whose priceless diamond necklace has just been stolen. But when Kermit mistakes lovely receptionist/would-be model Miss Piggy for her aristocratic employer, it's love at first sight. Unfortunately, Lady Holiday's scheming brother (Charles Grodin) is also wooing the sultry swine -- so he can frame her for another brazen jewel heist! Now it's up to Kermit and his Muppet pals to clear Piggy's name and catch the real culprits. Packed with music, remarkable production numbers, and hilarious cameo performances (including John Cleese, Peter Falk, Jack Warden, Robert Morley, and Peter Ustinov), this restored and remastered 50th Anniversary Edition of The Great Muppet Caper is the wackiest story ever told!

Some records stay with you a short time. Others last a month, maybe a summer. But every once in a while, you hear a record that sounds like it was recorded for you personally, with melodies that sound wondrous and yet familiar and lyrics that remind you of the things you have always understood but never knew how to explain. THE STARS BURN OUT, the newest and best record from David Singer and The Sweet Science, is one of those. Produced by Brian Deck (Modest Mouse, Califone) and David Singer at Engine Studios in Chicago,THE STARS BURN OUT is a tour-de-force of pop songwriting, echoing Elvis Costello, Randy Newman and Brian Eno with a modern sensibility that transcends its influences. It is a funny and candid look at sexual politics, human behaviour and social Darwinism, at once the soundtrack and the antidote to life in our times. Those familiar with the band's previous efforts, CIVIL WARS and THE COST OF LIVING (Deep Elm), already know of their chameleon-like ability to jump from style to style without losing their own distinct voice, and THE STARS BURN OUT is no exception. This record is a document of a band operating in top form, from the Zombies-like pulse of "Social Studies" to the new-wave bombast of "Is There Anyone Out There?", from the glam ballad "When The Spring Is Finally Here" to the New Orleans brass band stomp of "Thanks For Nothing". The production can only be called state-of-the-art, with Brian Deck providing the inventiveness and clarity for which he is renowned. But it is David's lyrics, as always, that take center stage. This record is his crowning achievement, at once satirical and sincere, asking the questions we all ask in a way we all wish we could articulate. THE STARS BURN OUT speaks to the part of us that wonders if anyone else is lonely, if anyone else is bored, if anyone is even listening. Consider this, from "Can I See You Tonight?": "When they're playing the national anthem/And everyone's singing along! /I think what a beautiful concept that is/But I picture a different song/Somewhere Over The Rainbow/And we can all go to falsetto/For "Why O Why Can't I?"/But no one's jealous of bluebirds/Just cause they know how to fly" Some people only put music on in the background; some people never even set the stations on the radio in their car. But there are still those of you who treasure music, who live for it, who worship at the altar of the song. THE STARS BURN OUT is for you.
