Romanov’s Most Valuable Jewels

Most of the imperial jewels were either taken out of the country or sold at auctions after the Bolshevik Revolution, but some of them can still be seen on display in Moscow. We do not know exactly how large the Romanov family’s jewelry collection was since all the information we have comes from the fraction of it that fell into the Bolsheviks’ hands after the 1917 revolution. And even those items did not resurface straight away. The royal treasures were usually kept in the diamond room of the Winter Palace in St. Petersburg, but during World War I the Romanovs’ crown jewels were sent to the Kremlin Armory for safekeeping. They remained there, buried under other boxes, until the Bolsheviks rediscovered them in 1922.
