Sapphire is the birthstone for September and is a symbol of loyalty, with a deep blue color that complements the brilliance of diamonds.

There are really not many sapphire crowns that have been worn over the years, it may be that sapphires are easy to darken, and there is a saying that the ring of Concubine Dai is actually quite dark, and the color is not very good.

Let's start with the British royal family, there are too many jewels in the British royal family, it is difficult to take stock of them one by one, focusing on a few more famous ones

Later, the crown was actually sold, but it was not allowed to be taken out of the United Kingdom, and was finally photographed by a financier and donated to the Victoria and Albert Museum.

Personally, I think this is the most shocking sapphire crown, the sapphire crown of Queen Maxima of the Netherlands, the queen shines with it when she is crowned, and this sapphire in the middle is 44 carats!

I was amazed by this crown for a long time when I watched the coronation, and with the dress and makeup, Maxima was perfect that day. The coronation ceremony that I watched later was not interesting.
