If this is your first visit, you may buy with confidence. Unlike many online jewelry dealers, as a gemologist Marie E. Betteley inspects and evaluates each item for quality and condition before it is posted. Using gemmological instruments, she tests each major gemstone, including diamonds, rubies and sapphires as well as gold and platinum for fineness.

As Russian specialist, Marie conducts extensive in depth research. Rare jewels, Fabergé items and other precious objects are placed in historical context by using a wide range of references including Russian and other archives, many of which are inaccessible to the general public. In Fit for a Russian Prince, the Galitzine Tea Service, for example, Marie recently rediscovered a magnificent Russian provenance hidden after decades of obscurity.
