Empress of Russia and the Crown Jewels.
The young Tsaritza of Russia has the largest collection of Crown jewels tc select from of any Royal Consort. There are some amongst the Imperial collection which can only be worn by the reigning Empress, and these are so numerous that she could hardly use them all. There are many of antique design which are very curious and of enormous value. Amongst these is a shawl of beautiful filigree work in gold, a mass of diamonds, which has never been worn. The young Empress does not care for jewels, and only wears them in any quantity on State occasions.
