Romanov Jewellery
Hi there, I'm new to the web page and am passionately interested in the Romanov and Yusupov families.
In particular I'm interested in their collections ie furniture, jewellery etc. I was wanting to know if anyone knows what happened to the incredible collection of Yusupov jewellery that was found by the Soviets in 1925 and which there is a famous photo of them sorting through. Was it broken up and the stones sold seperately? (Hope not) or were the beautiful pieces sold as the items they were? I've never seen any of the pieces in that photograph shown anywhere since then. And also what happened to all those royal tiaras that are illustrated on this site in particular that magnificent Diamond and Pearl one that is often shown in photos of the Empress Alexandra? Sorry for so many questions at once!! I'd be so pleased if anyone could help
Cheers
