- Published
Time to check out some serious jewellery that could soon be coming through your letter box!
The Royal Mail have released a new set of stamps showing a selection of the Crown Jewels.
The Crown Jewels are kept in the Tower of London and are closely guarded by the Yeoman Warders who are also called Beefeaters.
The eight stamps have been designed to celebrate the 350th anniversary of the creation of the Crown Jewels.
The priceless jewels have been kept in the tower since the 14th Century and there have been loads of attempts to steal them...
No-one has ever succeeded! Lots of the objects are used during special royal occasions like the Queen's coronation.
The Imperial State Crown is one of the most famous objects. The crown was made specially for the coronation of the Queen's father, King George VI, in 1937 and has over 3000 gems on it!
