Category:Crown of George I

The Imperial State Crown of George I is the state crown manufactured in 1714 for George I. It replaced the Imperial State Crown of Charles II (also used by his successors, James II, William III and Queen Anne) and incorporated some of the jewels and pearls from the old crown, with the addition of 2 new sapphires, 6 emeralds, 160 diamonds and 265 pearls, at a total cost of £1,440. Very little change was made to either the shape of the crown or the arrangement of the stones.

George I, George II, George III and William IV were crowned with the State Crown of George I, rather than with the Crown of St Edward.
