The large imperial crown, made in 1762 for the coronation of Empress Catherine II by the talented jeweler Georg Eckart, is striking in its perfection and luxury. The stones were chosen by Jeremia Pauzieux. An excellent craftsman, he was able to create "a hymn to the diamond in the diamond age. It is no coincidence that the Russian imperial crown occupies an exceptional position among the world’s regalia.
Information
Traditional in form, made of two openwork silver hemispheres, separated by a garland and fastened by a low crown, entirely set with diamonds and pearls, the crown creates an impression of solemn grandeur, surprising at the same time with its lightness and elegance. Graceful and at the same time unusually calm are the laurel branches that are the symbol of power and glory as if encircling the diamond grid of hemispheres and fastened with a diamond in the center.
The diamond lace sparkles with two rows of large dull and perfectly clear pearls. In a garland of large white and pink diamonds, oak leaves and acorns are placed between the hemispheres, which symbolizes the strength and durability of power.
The crown is topped by a rare dark-red gem - a noble spinel (398.72 carats, purchased in the 17th century from Eastern merchants). It is also one of the seven historic stones in the Diamond Fund of Russia.
