Mr Charles Stone, of Messrs. Garrard's, the Court jewellers, assembling the various parts of the circlet first made for Queen Victoria and modified for each succeeding Coronation. The crown was designed with four crosses, or patee and four fleurs de lys and the famous Koh-i-Noor diamond was set in the front cross patee. The crown was adapted for Queen Elizabeth, consort of King George VI and later the Queen Mother, by including four complete arches instead of the eight half arches forming Queen Mary's crown
