That's OK. I had wondered if the brief description for the crown in the Royal Collection might have misled anyone. They say the K was reset, which seems to me an odd verb to use in place of simply "set", unless the current text has been reduced from something longer. As well, they do not mention the recutting of the Lahore diamond.
