Buying Vintage Russian Jewelry - A Simple Guideline


Russian jewelry has a global status due to its two famous promoters. The first of these was Peter the Great who started the fabulous state collection around 1719. The second of was Carl Faberge who was commissioned by the Czar Alexander III to hand craft eggs in pastel shades in gold and silver encrusted with precious and semi-precious gems. The House of Faberge has since then been associated with excellence in the world of Russian jewelry.

Russian jewelry of value consists of antiquities like the Russian egg pendant, enamel and diamond heart pendant with a locket having two compartments and antique brooches. These brooches available online are like the Russian Imperial Eagle Diamond Brooch from around 1900. The brooch has the eagle at its center surrounded by diamonds. There is also the 1850 flower brooch with diamond in silver and gold and the diamond and sapphire brooch from the 1880s.
