A symbol of authority and sovereignty, the awe-inspiring scepter holds the world’s largest faceted white diamond. That alone is a statement of power and wealth! The original 1661 scepter was redesigned after King Edward VII’s acquisition of the Cullinan diamond, a 1.33-pound diamond discovered in South Africa in 1905. As the largest diamond ever discovered, King Edward had it cut into several stones and placed largest—a massive 530 carat diamond—in the redesigned scepter.

 

The golden Sovereign’s Orb, also made in 1661, delineates the Queen’s religious power. As “god’s representative on Earth,” the Queen is given the gold orb as a symbol of Christian world. It is set with a jeweled cross on top and surrounded by a band of diamonds, gemstones and pearls.
