Hopefully this link will work.

Thanks for the link, and interesting that pieces were removed from each of those, repurposed for other royal items I imagine.
All that is left of the State Crown of George I is it's frame, and some jewel at the top below the cross.
The frame is all that is left of the coronation crown of George IV. You can see it here in my blog entry. https://wp.me/p2pver-2sp
Thank you for both your answers, Karen - and accounting for all that were used other than St. Edward's Crown since 1689. It does lead me to ask one small final question: do you know if the small diamond crown of Queen Anne, and the State Crown of George I, and the diamond crown of George IV, were all preserved as historic items even though not used anymore? Perhaps at the Tower with other state jewels/regalia? I haven't been there in decades but...will look out for them if they are in fact there.
Queen Anne was crowned with small diamond crown of her own. King George I used a State Crown of his own. Kings George II, George III and William IV used the State Crown of George I. King George IV typically had a large new diamond crown made specially for the occasion. Queen Victoria and Edward VII chose not to use St Edward's Crown because of its weight and instead used the lighter 1838 Imperial State Crown.
