The Canadian Royal Mint have a new collection - Crown Jewels, with St. Edward’s Crown being the fourth in it’s series.

Part 3

It is the revered symbol of royal authority, history and tradition. The centuries-old St. Edward’s Crown is only worn once in a monarch’s reign and only at the very moment of crowning—the moment when the historic headpiece is reverently placed upon the new sovereign’s head, marking the culmination of accession.

Heavy is the head that wears this crown, which weighs 2.23 kilograms (almost five pounds). From 1702 until 1911, the St. Edward’s Crown was simply carried during each coronation procession and placed on the altar in Westminster Abbey for the ceremony, but never actually worn by the new monarch—it was thought to be too heavy. That changed in 1911, when King George V was crowned with the St. Edward’s Crown, and it has crowned all British monarchs since.

When the St. Edward’s Crown was commissioned in 1661, the cost of buying the gems was deemed too prohibitive; instead, the jewels were rented for each coronation and replaced with imitation stones for public viewing. Its jewels were set permanently in 1911.

A gold signet ring linked to Queen Elizabeth I has gone on display at Hampton Court Palace after being found by a Bedfordshire metal detectorist.

The Tudor ring was discovered in Ampthill in a former royal hunting ground once owned by Henry VIII.

Historic Royal Palaces, the independent charity that cares for Hampton Court Palace, bought the ring after it was acquired by the government under the Treasure Act 1996.

It went on display on Monday alongside another ring linked to the family of Anne Boleyn.

The ring is on display at Hampton Court Palace, which is known as the home of King Henry VIII

The 1570s gold ring features an engraving of a phoenix rising from flames.

This symbol was first associated with Elizabeth's mother, Anne Boleyn, after a 1575 poem compared her to a phoenix and said Elizabeth had risen from her ashes "as a worthy queen".

Elizabeth adopted the phoenix emblem herself in honour of her mother's memory, and courtiers then wore it as a sign of loyalty.
