~ Happy Birthday Ernest William Hornung ~

⭐ 7 June 1866

Author, poet, and life long cricket enthusiast – and creator of gentleman thieves A. J. Raffles and Bunny Manders.

“I saw that he was emptying his pockets; the table sparkled with their hoard. Rings by the dozen, diamonds by the score; bracelets, pendants, aigrettes, necklaces; pearls, rubies, amethysts, sapphires; and diamonds always, diamonds in everything, flashing bayonets of light, dazzling me—blinding me—making me disbelieve because I could no longer forget.”

Thank you for the words, Willie old boy.

The Imperial State Crown was made for George VI in 1937 off a pattern from a crown made in 1838 for Queen Victoria’s coronation and later used for the coronation of Edward VII.

It has a lot of very old and valuable gems, including sapphires belonging to St. Edward the Confessor and Alexander II of Scotland, a ruby from Edward the Black Prince, pearls from Elizabeth I and the Cullinan II diamond.

In 1909, the 104-carat Stuart Sapphire, set in the front of the crown, was moved to the back and replaced by the 317-carat Cullinan II diamond. The crown is adorned with 2,900 precious stones, 2868 diamonds, 17 sapphires, 11 emeralds, 269 pearls including St Edward's Sapphire, the Stuart Sapphire, and the Black Prince's Ruby.

Gold ring with garnet stones and a micro ivory carving. English origin. Late 18th century.

The warship is set under crystal with gold cannon details, on a hand-painted wave background flanked by armed walls. The scene is surrounded by flat cut shells. Detail of the reverse with reeds.

This ring was certainly given here as a love token by a high officer to his sweetheart. Possibly it was made by the same jeweller as this ring, and perhaps the commissioner and the wearer were the same.
