Please sign in so that we can notify you about a reply
For centuries, the radiance of countless precious stones was the “visiting card” of the Russian imperial court. All memoirists, especially foreigners, unanimously wrote about jewelry brilliance, which was an integral part of ceremonies. The dazzling sparkling of diamonds, the uterine flickering of gold and noble silver, pearl placers, Smaragdi and Yakhont - all this luxury is waiting for the reader on the pages of the book. You will read about jewelry “brands” and jewelers-suppliers of the imperial court, jewelry and gifts, and even thefts in imperial residences. You will find real documents with a description of crown diamonds, jewelry albums of Maria Fedorovna and Nicholas II with sketches of jewelry and much more. The book is built on archival documents, and therefore the authors hope that readers will be able to discover new pages associated with the amazing world of Russian jewelry
