Sovereign's orb is the ultimate emblem of royal power, and now you can have one all to yourself with this stunning Rhodium Plated Swarovski Elements "Sovereign's Orb" Brooch. The ball as a symbol of the cosmos, or of the universe as a harmonious whole, is derived from the ancient Romans, who associated it with Jupiter and, hence, with the emperor as his earthly representative. Christians adapted the symbol by setting a cross above the ball to signify the world ruled by Christianity. Kings and queens were often depicted with the orb, but the first to hold it in hand at his coronation was the Holy Roman emperor Henry II in 1014; thereafter the "imperial apple" became an important emblem of the royal power invested in the monarch. This gorgeous pin measures 3cm x 4cm and fastens with a rotating pin clasp on the back.
