    That's what I was thinking, Nellie.
    I've just been reading that it was usual for new rings to be made for each coronation up until William IV with the exception of Queen Victoria who needed a much smaller ring to be made. Could her Majesty have an earlier version or simply a copy in her personal collection?

    : I agree with Manuel the 3rd ring in the tray
