St. Edwards Crown Souvenir Stud Pin

This stud pin is based on the actual Coronation Crown, which is made of gold, set with precious and semiprecious stones, and weighs five pounds. It is reputed to contain the gold from the crown of Edward the Confessor. During the time of Cromwell, most of the Crown Jewels were melted into coinage, but it would appear that the original crown was saved, and incorporated into this crown made for the Coronation of Charles II in 1661.

gold plated miniature stud-pin, with 3 shoulders, set with 2 bohemian crystals, and a butterfly stud-pin fitting. Hand-made in England with fine English pewter.
