The English crown jewels include a diadem with eighty six diamonds centered by the Kooh-i-noor, a collar of 108 diamonds with a central emerald, another diadem blending diamonds and emeralds with the large Kavidavassy diamond, and a codified set guarded in an iron chest. Prices reach millions though some stones have minor defects. The collection also features pieces used by the princess of Wales on special occasions.
