Abstract
The jewelry collection of the Diamond Fund of Russia was a part of crown jewe ls and was kept in the Diamond room of the Winter palace. Only true masterpieces made with unsurpassed skill and exquisite art taste, were chosen for this collection. These samples of jewelry have been saved by several generations of our predecessors. And hopefully our descendants will keep these things carefully as well.
