Jeweled Sword of State

The Jeweled Sword of State is considered the most beautiful and valuable sword in the world. Made for the coronation of George IV in 1820 at a cost of £ 6,000, it features an abundance of jewelry in all colors and gold. At the coronation, this sword is held as one of the military emblems of the “guardian of the jewel house”, and after it is presented to the monarch, it is given to the monarch as an honorary gift of the church. Then it is triggered again. The sword is kept in the Tower of London and is one of the British Crown Jewels .
