GOVIERS EXCLUSIVES
Combining the coin striking expertise of the Royal Mint and the master jewellers found in England’s Historic Jewellery Quarter in Birmingham. Both Sovereign and pendant have been crafted to the world’s finest standards. Two examples of British crafts combining to create beautiful jewellery.
The half sovereign measures 19.3mm, it has 3.99 grams of 22 carat gold. The 2023 version includes King Charles III, at the time of going to press the Royal Mint have not released an image of the 2023 design though we believe that it will include the St. George and Dragon. King Charles III in line with tradition will be shown facing the opposite direction to Queen Elizabeth II.
All sovereigns are struck by the British Royal Mint based in Llantrisant, South Wales they have been responsible for English coinage since 886AD. Sovereign jewellery offers the opportunity to not only own gold but to enjoy wearing it too.
Using SI quality southern African diamonds, also Brazilian Amethysts, natural gemstones that have taken up to 3 billion years to develop deep within the earth. Each gemstone has been expertly set by a highly experienced gem setter in Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter. Given that the gemstones are natural they are never quite the same, the setter will adapt every setting to perfectly hold the gem.
The Quarter Sovereign was first issued in 2009 and has been issued every year since. Measuring 13.5mm it has 1.99 grams of 22 carat gold. The design will be the same as the half sovereign. Having the option of both half and quarter sizes, there is a sovereign pendant for everyone.
Diamonds and Amethysts have a long association with Royal Jewellery pieces featuring heavily in the Crown Jewels.
Each piece is presented in a wooden display case.

Coronation Collection
Royal Scot Crystal King Charles III Collection. To commemorate the Coronation of His Majesty King Charles III, a distinguished collection of hand cut crystal engraved with a special Coronation Crest.
Timeless heirlooms to be cherished and passed on through the generations.
This rare Minton bone china orb was made to commemorate the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953.
The design is applied using the highly skilled process of acid etching. Once the acid has created the relief this is then hand gilded with 22ct gold and burnished by hand. Roses, thistles and shamrocks encircle the base.
This is an exceptionally rare item and not something we are likely to have again. As was the case at the time this item is not gift boxed.
