Russian Crown Jewels
The Russian Crown Jewels are a collection of royal regalia and ceremonial objects that symbolize the power and authority of the Russian monarchy. These treasures include crowns, scepters, and orbs, which were used during coronation ceremonies. The most famous pieces are the Imperial Crown of Russia and the Sceptre of Monomakh, both showcasing exquisite craftsmanship and rich history.
Many of the jewels date back to the Romanov dynasty, which ruled Russia for over 300 years. After the Russian Revolution in 1917, the crown jewels were nationalized and are now housed in the Kremlin Armory Museum in Moscow, where they are displayed for public viewing.
