The Armills (from the Latin: armillae) are a type of bracelet, one of the garments that are included in a regalia, symbolically known as the bracelets of wisdom and sincerity. Armills have been used in many coronations. The oldest Armills in the British Royal Regalia are those of King Charles II, the newest belonging to Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II.
The term Armills has also historically been used to mean a type of silken stole fastened to the arms, however in England it is currently used to refer to the regalia bracelets.
