    : 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

    : The two sapphire rings worn in Joye's post
    : are
    : from the "tray" in earlier posts.
    : I agree with Manuel the 3rd ring in the tray
    : does appear to have a ruby colour too, but
    : I'm sure the coronation rings and Queen
    : Victoria's ring are in the Jewel Tower in
    : the Tower of London. How easy is it for the
    : pieces there to be removed? Anyone know?
