For

Russia is one of the finest on the market in the West. And it's
all for sale. From gold and gem-set rings and brooches to cufflinks,
jeweled miniature eggs and diamond encrusted pendants, these unique
treasures, all from the Romanov era, can now be yours.
Depending

pre-eminent jeweler, Carl Fabergé (1846-1920) and other unique
precious objects. Mindful of authenticity and with over two decades of experience as a specialist
of Fabergé and other Russian imperial jewelers, Marie E.
Betteley chooses
Fabergé items based on provenance (ownership background),
condition and beauty.
