The Crown Jewels in any country symbolize the passing of authority from one monarch to another during the coronation ceremony. In England, the earliest detailed account of a coronation comes from 973 when the Anglo-Saxon King Edgar was crowned.
Crown Jewels of the United Kingdom symbolize more than 800 years of monarchy. They are the only working set in Europe and the most historically complete of any regalia in the world.
