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). 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, genuine 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 jewels collection includes the Queen Mary Crown (specifically created to celebrate the Maiden Voyage of the Queen Mary II) and the Imperial Crown of India. The 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. 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 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.

The collection is delivered via secured vehicles and requires armed security present during exhibition hours. The House of Windsor Group provides educational material and complete descriptions of each piece, as well as the history surrounding each piece. The House of Windsor Group British Jewels Collection is currently on display at Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida. You
