CORONATION RING
A Coronation Ring has been part of British (and before that, of English and Scottish)
Coronation ceremonies for many centuries. With few exceptions, each Sovereign received a
new ring for his or her coronation to symbolize their marriage to the nation. Since the 13th
century it was traditional to include a ruby as the principal stone in the ring.
During the ceremony, the ring is placed on the fourth finger of the right hand by the
Archbishop, as symbol of kingly dignity. In earlier times, it was done after the crowning but
before receiving the sceptre. From William IV and onwards the presentation of the ring
preceded the anointing with holy oil and is followed by the crowning itself.
