Russian seasons
Today's fashion for folklore Slavic jewelry returned, following the laws of history. 100 years ago (!), after the revolution, the Russian style in clothes and women's adornments began to spread in the West. It was perceived as something exotic, from a bygone era and a lost country. By the way, European designers very skillfully kept the Russian style. In particular, Yves Sev-Laurent gave France his love for the unique Russian beauty - to recall at least his collection of 1976 "Russian operas and ballets", inspired by Diaghilev's "Russian Seasons".
Princely history
The Yusupov family. This genus with a complex fate has acquired numerous legends. But what definitely really exists is the relics of the Yusupov family. Through the family was the legendary pearl "Pelegrin" (not to be confused with "Peregrina"). It was owned by the kings, in Spain, France, England and including - the princess Zinaida Yusupova.
At the auction Sotheby's in 1969 a pearl bought by Richard Barton for his famous wife - Elizabeth Taylor. Years later, when the puppy was chewing on the pearl, it was decided to insert it into the necklace. The work was done by the Cartier masters.
Already after Taylor's death, in 2011 the necklace is put up for Christie's auction, where it was sold for $ 11,800,000! After this event, Pelegrin began to be spoken of as the most precious pearl of the world, of course, given the added elements of Cartier.

The Rasputin family
The history of this family is also full of legends, but now we are not talking about them - we are talking about Russian ornaments. Grigory Rasputin's daughter Matryona often used Russian motifs in images. During her life she lived in different parts of the world, she was both a dancer and a tamer of lions. Everybody knew who she was, they wrote about her in the newspapers, and her chosen Russian style focused attention on family history.
