Bracelet Gold, Sapphires, Pearls, Rose-Cut Diamonds St. Petersburg, 1890 The Victoria & Albert Museum |
Clearly, this bracelet was made for export to England. The influence of Indian artistry is evidence of that as is the vague sense of the medieval about this piece. Russian jewelers often produced special wares for export to the English who were always eager to add the perfect accessory to their wardrobes.
