Overview

The paragraph should give a three to five sentence abstract about your article.

Background

The crown jewels are a symbol of the British monarchy. These items are often worn at ceremonial events such as coronations or christenings.

The Jewels

Many of the crown jewels are encrusted with precious gemstones and metals, and as they are royal artifacts they are priceless. The Koh-i-Noor diamond that sits upon the Crown of Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother is said to be worth between $10 to $12.7 billion. The same crown has a frame made of platinum, with a total of 2800 diamonds encrusting it. Other precious gems used in the crown jewels include sapphires, topaz, rubies, emeralds, amethysts, and more.
