Dear fellow posters I'm in Russia right now on a vacation. And Wednesday I actually went to visit the Kremlin with very big expectations.
The armory museum contains collections of gold and silver objects given in favor of the Zars over time. The golden horse carridges and different throne chairs and some fashion and weapons. But also 10 of the real faberge eggs. Jubiiiii
Within the armory museum you also find the diamond found. OMG what a collection. I just love to see the famous crowns and just the stone collection it self. And of course some of those very old pieces of jewelry that have survived. Also there was three replicas of zarina tiaras. The one with pearls that belongs to Imelda Marcos, the big one with a pink diamond in the middle and the huge ears of weath with a yellow diamond in the middle.
It's wort a visit. But unfortunately it's not aloud to take pictures in there... --Previous Message-- : If I well remember, most of the Russian : imperial jewels are kept in Moscow's : Kremlin. : : Here is a video (in Russian) with lovely : pictures of the glittering Russian jewels: : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HhZbMeLHnoU : : :
