Answer: the Imperial State crown

The Imperial State Crown must be worn at all State functions. Made for the coronation of Queen Victoria, it is set with a large ruby that belonged to Henry IV that he wore in the Battle of Agincourt in 1415. It also has 4 huge pear-shaped pearls once worn as earrings by Queen Elizabeth I (she must have been a Dumbo look-alike--we're talkin' BIG pearls!) It also contains the world's largest diamond, the Cullinan, as well as 2,700 other smaller diamonds. I guess a basic black sheath would be appropriate to wear with it...anything else would be too busy.
