The Royal Heart The precious masterpiece "The Royal Heart" is a declaration of Dali’s true love to his muse Gala. The most effective decoration of Dali's jewelry collection is dedicated to the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain. According to the artist, rubies in the center of the piece personify the queen herself, "whose heart beats and suffers in the name of her people," and gold symbolizes the people who "take care and protect their beloved queen." Mastermind Dali ensured that the mechanism mimics the motion of the heart. It fascinates the viewers.
