While thinking about expanding my little collection of jewellery books with the new one about "Jewels from Imperial St. Petersburg" I was grubbing through pictures and informations about the jewels of the russian imperial family. I was astonished that I couldnīt find a ruby parure in the asset of the tzarina. White diamond, pink diamond, pearls (a lot), emeralds and sapphires, but no rubies, no necklace, no tiara. Did I miss something?
