 Victoria was crowned with the new Imperial State Crown made for her by the Crown Jewellers Rundell and Bridge, with more than 3000 gems, including the Black Prince's Ruby, set on the front. The cross at the top was set with a stone known as St. Edward's Sapphire, a gemstone taken from the ring of Edward the Confessor.

Victoria's coronation robes remain in the Royal Collection and are kept at Kensington Palace. 

They are reported to be in excellent condition.
