Schmuck der Zaren | Juwelen des Zar von Russland
1894 erhielt die Firma Faberge einen großen Auftrag für zwei prunkvolle Halsketten im Gesamtwert von mehr als 345 000 Rubel, die für Prinzessin Alix, Alexandra von Hessen, der Braut des Zarewitsch Nikolaus, vom Bräutigam beziehungsweise dessen Eltern geschenkt wurden.
Es ist leider nicht zuzuordnen, welche Perlen-Kette die Zarin später auf den Abbildungen trägt, denn es gab im Bestand des “Imperialen Diamant Fond” noch andere Perlenketten, der ehemaligen Zarinnen, die sie dem Fond vermachen mussten(!), dies war ein Gesetz von Zar Paul I.
Dazu kamen jedoch persönliche Schmuckstücke über die Jahre, die dem persönlichen Schmuck und Juwelen Besitz der Zarinnen zuflossen und sie behalten durften.
Bekannt sind davon, ein rosa Perlen Ring, den die Zarin Alexandra immer trug er war ihr Verlobungsring. Ihr Kettenarmband mit einem riesigen Smaragd, ein Geschenk vom Zarewitsch in Windsor, sowie eine Kette aus rosa Perlen, alles Geschenke vor der Hochzeit. Der Kaiser von Russland schickte eine wunderbare Saphir-und Diamant-Brosche.
Dazu gehörte auch Schmuck und Juwelen die in Tobolsk gefunden wurden, siehe unten Liste :

Personal Jewels of Empress Alexandra Foedorovna:
The pink pearl ring that the Empress always wore was her engagement ring.

The imperial diamond fond:
Peter I. has founded this fond to which each emperor or empress had to make some deposits at various distinctive occasions like coronations or when celebrating a jubilee. The wedding-parures of each of the crown princesses were also a regular donation to the fond. In the Winter-Place was a special department which took care of the fond and the Lord Stewards had the right to force deposits of the monarchs if they had the feeling that a monarch was not so generous, so that the fond was still growing over the centuries.
