Question

Are There Any Images Of The Coronation Crown Of George IV ?

Answer 1

George IV was determined to have his crown made the official crown of England, in preference to St. Edward's Crown. However two years of pressure on his government failed to ensure that the hired jewels that decorated the crown were bought outright by the state. In 1823 he conceded defeat. The hired jewels were returned and the crown left an empty shell. It was never again worn by him or by any future monarch.

After standing empty of jewels for nearly 180 years it has now been rejewelled with diamonds loaned by De Beers. It is on display in the Tower of London.

Answer 4

George IV tried to persuade Parliament to buy the stones for his crown so that it could remain set as a permanent crown. He failed and the crown was eventually dismantled.  He actually purchased the Hope Diamond and had it installed in the crown, but had to later take it apart because Parliament wouldn't agree to purchasing the rest the stones.

Here is a GREAT description of the coronation, with photos.
