You can try on life-size replicas of the British Crown Jewels at a Houston jewelry store
A replica of the Coronation Spoon of Queen Elizabeth is among the life-size replicas of the Crown Jewels on display at Houston Jewelry, 9521 Westheimer Rd., shown Wednesday, April 26, 2023, in Houston.Heavy is the head that wears the crown, as Shakespeare said — and as visitors to Houston Jewelry in west Houston, can attest.
That will be the challenge for the King Charles III, who will be crowned May 6 alongside his wife, Camilla, the queen consort. It will be Britain's first coronation since Charles' mother, Queen Elizabeth II, was anointed in 1953. Elizabeth died in September at age 96, after 70 years on the throne. Solomon explained that he didn't set out to build a collection of crown jewels. Rather, he found himself with some empty display cabinets in the late 1990s, after the rise of e-commerce took its toll on brick-and-mortar gift stores like Houston Jewelry. The family-owned retailer traces its roots in Texas to the 19th century and opened as a store selling gifts and jewelry in downtown Houston in the 1950s.
