Edward Cary

Edward Cary or Carey or Carye (died 1618) was an English courtier and Master of the Jewel Office for Elizabeth I and James VI and I.

[5] He was a Groom of the Privy Chamber, Keeper of Marylebone Park, Master of the Jewel House jointly with John Astley from August 1595,[6] a teller of the exchequer,[7] and was knighted in 1596.

[8] Cary and Thomas Knyvet were involved in a review of older jewels in 1600 when some pieces were appraised by the goldsmiths Hugh Kayle and Leonard Bush.

[11] The auditor Francis Gofton noted in December 1604 that the Queen's gold crown and other items weighing in total 53 ounces were kept by Edward Cary.

[12] A February 1606 payment to the goldsmith John Williams includes his supply of gold chains and medallions with the king's portrait remaining "under the charge of Sir Edward Cary, Knight, one of the Jewelhouse".
