Queen Elizabeth II in a ohoto session after her corronation in 1953

Colorized a vintage photo of Queen Elizabeth II in one of her post-coronation photo sessions in 1953. The Imperial State Crown she wore was priceless, but is now valued at over $1 Billion. The 317.3 carat Cullinan II diamond called Star of Africa is mounted on the crown. The larger Cullinan I at 504 carats is set on the scepter (not shown). Above the Cullinan is a 170 carat irregular cut ruby called Black Prince's Ruby. The coronation necklace has 25 diamonds, ranging from 8-12 carats with the 22-carat Lahore diamond as pendant.
