![]() Extra points for spotting Cullinan II (317 carats) in the Imperial State crown, and numbers III, IV and V (a mere 94, 64 and 19 carats) in the crown worn during the ceremony by Queen Camilla – her official title after the coronation. Cullinan I is the largest of a number of outrageous jewels struck from a vast South African gem, the largest rough diamond ever found, that was presented to Edward VII in 1907. Its symbolism is somewhat outshone by the boggling 530-carat diamond set in one end, though. The sovereign’s sceptre with cross, a gold rod made in three sections, is included to symbolise the monarch’s temporal power and is “associated with good governance”, according to the Royal Collection Trust. ![]() ![]() Photograph: Royal Collection Trust/© His Majesty King Charles III 2023/PA The sceptre The sovereign’s sceptre with cross features the 530-carat Cullinan I diamond. ![]() ![]() want these vibes? | read this Richter: Recomposed By Max Richter: Vivaldi, The Four Seasons - Spring 1 - 2012 - Max Richter & Daniel Hope & Konzerthaus Kammerorchester Berlin & André de Ridder. ![]() ![]() #greenscreen #bringingdowntheduke #eviedunmore #bookofthemonth #victorian #booktok #books #bookish #bookworm #romancenovels #romancebooks #bookofthemonth #romancebooktok #romance #bookstan #bookrecs #bookrec #bookrecommendations #bookrecommendation #book #booktoker #reader #readersoftiktok #bookishthoughts #readers #booklovers #booklover #suffrage #suffragettes #suffragette #christmas #GenshinImpact33 #christmasbooks #votesforwomenħ4 Likes, TikTok video from Honour Harlowe "#greenscreen #bringingdowntheduke #eviedunmore #bookofthemonth #victorian #booktok #books #bookish #bookworm #romancenovels #romancebooks #bookofthemonth #romancebooktok #romance #bookstan #bookrecs #bookrec #bookrecommendations #bookrecommendation #book #booktoker #reader #readersoftiktok #bookishthoughts #readers #booklovers #booklover #suffrage #suffragettes #suffragette #christmas #GenshinImpact33 #christmasbooks #votesforwomen". ![]() ![]() ![]() Hazelwood does a great job of incorporating STEM into her books.
