In 1911 King George V decided to revive the ancient tradition of investing his son, later to become Edward VIII and Duke of Windsor with the symbols of his office as a state ceremony held at Canarvon castle. A new set of regalia was made. Designed by Sir William Goscombe John RA, and made by the Crown Jewellers Garrard, the 1911 crown is adorned with pearls and amethysts with four crosses pattee and four fleurs-de-lis around the rim. Within the outlines of the fleur-de-lis are daffodils of Wales.
Jewellery Care
We wish for you to enjoy your jewellery for as long as possible, and therefore recommend you read the following care instructions.
Please do not expose the jewellery to harsh chemicals, extreme temperatures or sunlight for a prolonged period.
Please make sure to apply cosmetics, perfume and hairspray prior to putting on the jewellery to avoid possible blemishing and discolouration.
Do remove the jewellery when performing any activity which may cause damage to the product, e.g. exercising, showering or performing household tasks.
Store each piece of jewellery separately as constant brushing together can damage the finish.
Acid in your skin and fragrances can attack the plated finish and so from time to time you should gently wash the items in your hands with warm soapy water.
Do not use brushes or cloths. Rinse in warm water and dry carefully.
Avoid using Ultrasonic jewellery cleaner which can dislodge the stones.
