The Crown Jewels
The Royals around the world have the most magnificent collections of jewelry passed down for centuries.
The British Crown Jewels have been kept in the Tower of London since 1303, protected by armed guards and never leave their location.
The Crown Jewels, which are part of the Royal Collection, are displayed to millions of visitors every year, guarded by Yeomen Warders ('Beefeaters') in the Tower of London. The Jewel House at the Tower has been used for the secure storage of the precious ceremonial objects, commonly known as the 'Crown Jewels', since the early 14th century, when Westminster Abbey (the alternative store) was found to be unsafe. Although attempts have been made to steal the Crown Jewels from the Tower, notably by Colonel Blood in 1671, none have succeeded. The present display of the Crown Jewels was opened by Her Majesty The Queen in 1994.
