Secrets of precious stones and jewelry
9.99 €
Products made of precious stones are not just accessories, they all have a special meaning in the lives of their owners. Amazingly beautiful rings, canes, stones, pocket watches that belonged to tsars and nobles, empresses and favorites, famous writers, not only changed the fates of their owners, they made history itself!
Before you is a book about unique masterpieces of jewelers and fascinating stories around famous jewelry. What canes did Pushkin prefer? Is it true that the diamond "Shah" was the price for Griboyedov's death? What ring did Leo Tolstoy give to his wife Sofya Andreyevna? What gift did Josephine Beauharnais give to Alexander I? What is the secret of the "Sancy" diamond and what events are connected with the pearl "Peregrina"? The author answers these and other questions in his book, which opens with a preface by Pavel Basinsky.
