An open coronet of embossed gold formed from alternating fleurs-de-lis and crosses pattées with smaller foliate trefoils mounted with facetted amethysts between, the headband mounted with pearls and cabochon amethysts in raised claw settings. The coronet was made by the Crown Jewellers, Garrards, for the investiture of Prince Edward as Prince of Wales, on 13 July 1911 at Caernarvon Castle. Historically, these investitures had taken place in front of Parliament, but in 1911 it was decided to hold the ceremony in Wales, a move largely encouraged by the Chancellor of the Exchequer and Welsh politician David Lloyd George. Lloyd George encouraged the Prince to learn Welsh for the ceremony. During the investiture, the Prince is bestowed with the Honours of the Principality of Wales - a coronet, a golden rod, a mantle, a sword and a ring.
