There are a lot of factors to consider when determining the value of an item,” says Hannah Webbe, coin specialist at online vintage store Vintage Cash Cow. “These include the condition of the item, its age and its scarcity.” Among all this there is one forgotten element: taste. “Personal preference is extremely important in collecting,” says Webbe. “Taste is so crucial to what is and what isn’t collectible. If you like something, there’s probably a good chance someone else will like it too. That’s a huge factor that people forget about in the resale market.”

Each piece has a deep connection to the monarchy and it is this interplay between private and crown that makes them so valuable. And if you're planning a street party, why not make some decorations of your own? The coronation celebrations are the perfect opportunity to get crafty! Follow our step-by-step guides to make lovely coronation bunting (which doesn't require any sewing!) and paper fan decorations which will brighten up any tablescape. Plus, why not watch the coronation in style with one of our paper crowns fit for a king. The Sovereign's Orb, another item commissioned for Charles II's coronation, is a globe of gold with a cross mounted on top, surrounded by a band of diamonds, emeralds, rubies, sapphires and pearls with a large amethyst at the summit. It is a representation of Christian sovereignty. CORONATION RING The Coronation ring, known as "The Wedding Ring of England" and composed of a sapphire with a ruby cross set in diamonds, was made for the coronation of King William IV in 1831. Worn at every coronation since then, it symbolises kingly dignity. SWORDS AND MACES The Highgrove Coronation Bear' is Highgrove's latest collectible bear. Limited to just 500, this Coronation teddy bear is handmade by Merrythought, the last remaining British teddy bear manufacturer.

It's been almost 70 years since the UK and Commonwealth have seen the crowning of a monarch, so King Charles III's coronation ceremony on Saturday 6 May is set to be a much anticipated and celebrated event. There's a bank holiday weekend planned to celebrate the King taking the throne and we can expect it to be a once-in-a-generation event.We've rounded up the coronation-themed craft kits that are perfect for every skill level and craft interest. There are kits to make street party decorations for beginner crafters, ideas of projects to work on while you're watching the coronation ceremony, and longer and more complex makes with really breathtaking results. There are also loads of kids coronation kits, too, from favourites including Etsy and Baker Ross. The silver-gilt spoon is the oldest piece in the regalia, probably made for Henry II or Richard I in the 12th century. It was used to anoint King James 1 in 1603, and has featured at every coronation since. BRACELETS

Valuing the royal family’s private jewellery collection is exceptionally difficult. A professional valuation would require each stone of each item to be inspected for occlusions or other imperfections that cannot be detected by the naked eye. The Royal Mint has created a 15kg gold coin in celebration of the King Charles' Coronation. It is the largest coin produced by The Royal Mint in its 1,100-year history with only one made featuring this design. The coronation coin range:The extraordinary generosity of this deal becomes clear when viewed through the lens of the queen’s jewellery collection and almost certainly means every gem will have been passed on to Charles. Morton multiplied Krashes’ estimates tenfold to try to achieve a more realistic value. However an auction of the late Princess Margaret's jewellery in 2006 suggests this may have been a considerable underestimate. A Guardian analysis found items sold for an average of 18 times the auction house’s top-end estimate. I think I got my interest in the Royal family from my mother. When I was a child she would always read magazines about the Royal family to me. Her favourite was Princess Margaret; she’d tell me about her exploits, about Peter Townsend and everything. I always wanted to hear about them.

Two armills, golden bracelets representing sincerity and wisdom, are placed on the sovereign's wrists. They are thought to relate to ancient symbols of knighthood and military leadership.

This paper weight is made from crystal. As we start to become paperless, manufacturers are starting to produce less paperweights.
