I would think that work might begin before long on adapting rhe Imperial State Crown for King Charles III to wear.
Link to the Royal Collection
According to The Crown Jewels 1998, the history is recorded on a plaque mounted over the back of the Black Prince's Ruby -
Rundell Bridge & Co, Jewellers to Queen Victoria, 28th June 1838
Partly remade by Garrard & Co, 1902 and 1932
Entirely remounted for Coronation of King George VI, 12th May 1937, by Garrard & Co
Remodelled and partly remounted for Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II by Goldsmiths & Silversmiths Co Ltd 2nd June 1953
My reference "The Crown Jewels 1998"
