THE KING'S CORONATION RING
IS NOT ANCIENT, HAVING BEEN MADE A LITTLE OVER 100 YEARS AGO FOR WILLIAM TV......... THIS RING-A SYMBOL OF KINGLY. DIGNITY AND DEFENCE OF THE FAITH IS PLACED BY THE ARCHBISHOP UPON THE FOURTH FINGER OF THE KINGS RIGHT-HAND. DIAMONDS SURROUND FOUR NARROW RUBIES WHICH FORM A CROSS UPON A LARGE SAPPHIRE.
A SMALL REPLICA OF THE KING'S RING WAS GIVEN TO QUEEN VICTORIA BY HER - UNCLE, WILLIAM TV, BUT IT WAS MADE SO VERY SMALL THAT, WHEN: THE ARCHBISHOP AT LAST SUCCEEDED IN PLACING IT ON THE QUEENS FINGER, HER MAJESTY WAS IN AGONY!!
