1. Three Splendid Sceptres: A Regal Triumph of Crown Jewels in 1930s London This evocative photograph captures the majestic allure of the Three Sceptres, a dazzling display of British monarchical regalia, housed within the Tower of London. The image features the Queens Sceptre with the Dove, the Kings Sceptre with the Dove, and the Head of the Kings Royal Sceptre, which were all redesigned in 1910 and bear the impressive Cullinan I diamond. The Queens Sceptre with the Dove is a magnificent golden rod topped with an intricately designed dove holding an olive branch in its beak, symbolizing peace. The Kings Sceptre with the Dove is equally grand, featuring a golden orb surmounted by a cross and a golden dove, representing wisdom and power. The Head of the Kings Royal Sceptre is the central piece in this royal trio. Redesigned in 1910, it was updated to include the Cullinan I diamond, which, at over 530 carats (106 g), is still the largest clear-cut diamond in the world. This exquisite gemstone was discovered in South Africa in 1905 and was named the Great Star of Africa. The Three Sceptres are a testament to the rich history and tradition of the British monarchy. Their golden splendor and the awe-inspiring Cullinan I diamond continue to captivate visitors to the Tower of London, reminding us of the enduring allure of royalty and the majesty of the British crown. This photograph, taken in the 1930s, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to an era of elegance, grandeur, and regal splendor. The Three Sceptres stand proudly, symbols of power and tradition, a lasting reminder of the monarchy's enduring legacy.
