Suzan and Nico Findeisen started making miniatures of the Crown Jewels in 1977, Jubilee year. They started first with the St. Edward's Crown, and then built the range piece by piece into the collection they have today, with over 40 different crowns and items of regalia from the Royal families of the UK and Europe.

The meticulously researched crowns - 1 in 12 in miniature scale, are cast in pewter, gold or silver plated, then set with tiny crystal cut stones, each one painstakingly set by hand. The St. Edward’s Crown miniature, for example, contains 69 stones representing the most distinctive of the 400 precious stones in the original crown. Standing 33mm high, the result is exquisite.

Collected piece by piece, or purchased as a complete collection, they represent not only the world’s most fabulous Crown Jewels - but also the wealth of history - and sometimes intrigue - that surrounds each piece.

The delightful collectors scale miniature replicas give us a wonderful glimpse of the beauty and splendour of the famous and historic Crown Jewels and a chance to make your own collection of the crowns and regalia which representing the Treasures of the Realm and which are so full of historical significance.
