The sparkle of countless precious stones was the hallmark of the Russian Imperial Court for centuries. Memoirists, especially foreigners, wrote unanimously of the jewelry brilliance that was an integral part of ceremonial occasions. The dazzling sparkle of diamonds, the matte shimmer of gold and fine silver, pearl placers, emeralds, and sapphires—all this luxury awaits the reader within the pages of this book. You will read about jewelry "brands" and jewelers who supplied the Imperial Court, jewelry awards and gifts, and even thefts from imperial residences. You will also find actual documents listing the crown diamonds, jewelry albums belonging to Maria Feodorovna and Nicholas II with sketches of jewelry, and much more. The book is based on archival documents, and the authors hope that readers will discover new chapters in the fascinating world of Russian jewelry art.
