Designers reimagine the Queen's crown

To celebrate the Queen's Diamond Jubilee, English luxury department store Harrods has commissioned 31 designers and jewellery houses to reimagine the Queen's coronation outfit to display in their windows — specifically her gown and, most importantly, the St Edward's Crown.

Playing Queen for a day were Mulberry, Roberto Cavalli, Lanvin, Valentino, De Beers and Tiffany & Co., among others. Our favourites? We love Mulberry's crown, which appears to be covered in very British hundreds and thousands, and Paul Smith's version, which is topped off with a miniature corgi. But we really can’t get over De Beers' effort, which features 974 diamonds, including an impressive 73-carat sparkler.
