The House of Windsor Group Collection invites corporate sponsors to consider the benefits of sponsoring public oriented exhibition events to enhance their corporate brand. Corporate sponsors could expect to receive extraordinary response by way of print, magazine and television coverage. The City of Hannover, Germany sponsored an exhibition of the crown jewels and realized a return of more than two million marks in advertising benefits. More than 63,000,000 million people had the opportunity to read about the exhibition through daily newspapers, magazines, advertising papers, and television news and text reports. (More than 44,000 people visited the exhibition). Press calculations do not take into consideration the ancillary benefits derived from flyers, posters, local and national radio/television coverage or cable television coverage. House of Windsor Group Corporate-sponsored exhibitions are “one-of-a-kind” events, as British Law dictates that the Crown Jewels can never leave England and therefore the original crown jewels are housed and displayed in the Tower of London. In order to share the wealth of history and the beauty of the Crown Jewels with those in America, The House of Windsor Group has amassed an exclusive collection of original (signed) documents, original photographs and a private collection of Crown Jewels, replicated by the most respected European master jewelers and designers in world. Our museum creators, designers, goldsmith and jewelers ensured that each object was entirely handmade and completed using traditional techniques. Care was given to each piece to preserve their intricate detail. In order to obtain the beauty of each piece, precious and semi-stones have been included wherever possible. The House of Windsor Collection includes original royal portraits signed by Queen Mary and King George V. The crown jewel’s collection includes The Queen Mary Crown (recreated specifically to celebrate the Maiden Voyage of the Queen Mary II) and The Imperial Crown of India created for King George V. The House of Windsor Group Collection also includes Queen Victoria’s Jubilee necklace (later worn by the present Queen at her coronation), the Cambridge and Delhi Durbar Parure, created for Queen Mary in 1911 using emeralds won in a lottery by Adolphus, Duke of Cambridge (a century earlier) and 102 Cullinan diamond cleavings. The House of Windsor Group has also acquired the entire Cullinan collection of diamonds (nine in total-including the rough). The Cullinan diamond yielded The Star of Africa (530.20 carats). Additionally, the Cullinan yielded the Second Star of Africa (317.40 carats). The Second Star of Africa now adorns the front of the circlet of the Imperial State Crown. Cullinan three in concert with the Cullinan four adorns the crown of Queen Mary, however, they were removed and are now set together in a brooch. Cullinan five is 18.80 carats, is heart-shaped and was also set in a brooch. As no King has ever worn a crown in which the Koh-I-noor was placed, Cullinan five was the diamond, which replaced the Koh-I-noor in the crown for the coronation of King George VI. Cullinan six is set in an emerald necklace worn by the Queen. Cullinan seven and eight are set in a brooch and Cullinan nine is set as solitaire in a ring with a claw setting. While the House of Windsor Group Cullinan Collection has been replicated, replicating such works to exact detail was an extensive undertaking for master jewelers in Germany.
