Crown Jewels: A Tribute to the 100th Anniversary of the Birth of Queen Elizabeth II – Pure Gold Coin
About
A regal tribute, with rubies and diamonds echoing Canada’s colours.
The Baring Ruby Necklace is among Queen Elizabeth II’s most celebrated ruby jewels. Its clusters of vivid rubies and diamonds, culminating in a dramatic three-pendant centrepiece, were worn to many banquets and formal occasions—and one particularly striking moment came in 1977, when she opened Canada’s Parliament in Ottawa, where flashes of ruby mirrored the nation’s red in a historic moment of elegance.
This exquisite 99.99% pure gold coin reimagines that iconic jewel, dividing the necklace’s neckline and centrepiece with graceful scrollwork and setting genuine rubies and diamonds in 14-karat yellow gold mounts. Limited to 200 coins, this collector’s piece radiates the artistry and brilliance of the original, while honouring the enduring legacy and timeless style of Queen Elizabeth II on the centenary of her birth.
A ruby-and-diamond centenary tribute to Queen Elizabeth II.
