In addition to these simple shapes, there are some figurative and decorative animal and plant shapes, which make enamel very useful. It can be said that the jewelry of Romanov family always shines with eternal charm in the mutual set-off of precious stones and enamel.
The armory of the Kremlin holds a set of jewels made by 1875, which belongs to Queen Elizabeth. Jewelry includes three brooches and two earrings. Those brooches are exquisite ornaments decorated on bras. The brooches are all designed in the shape of flower clusters. The flowers are inlaid with various gems, and the leaves are inlaid with emeralds of different sizes and painted with enamel.
Here, the fragrant white gem flowers complement the vibrant emeralds and enamel leaves, and the exquisite craftsmanship is amazing, which is worthy of being a treasure of Russian jewelry art.
It should be said that Romanov's family jewels are world-famous, which is inseparable from an outstanding jeweler, the famous Faberge. In less than five years, Faberge has opened studios in Moscow, Odessa, Kiev and even London in addition to its headquarters in St. Petersburg. At its peak, it was the leading jewelry store in Russia.
In terms of design methods, Faberge's jewelry is the crystallization of collective wisdom. The completion of a piece of jewelry must first go through the detailed planning in the early stage, then complete the sketches and models, and then discuss them collectively by goldsmiths, silversmiths, enamelers, jewelers, jade smiths or masons, and finally assign them to Faberge's factories for processing and production.
