Russia's Kremlin Diamonds and its most precious objects are currently displayed in the Russian Diamond Fund and the Kremlin Armory. Included in Russia's glittering line-up and famous collection are a dazzling diamond display, and the world's second largest "Orlov" brilliant diamond.
At the Kremlin museums you can see the treasures of the Mughals in the bell tower, catch Tsar Alexei's orb in the Patriarch's Palace or peer at the Russian crown jewels and the Imperial Fabergé eggs by Peter Fabergé - "vous etes un genie incomparable". (famous quotation by Empress Mariya Fyodorovna, 8th April, 1914)
Ten of the 47 Imperial Faberge eggs are kept in the Kremlin in Moscow and eleven reside in the Forbes Collection in New York.
Now, the Kremlin Diamonds, lie in their darkened vault inside the Diamond Fund. Many of the pieces and the Kremlin diamonds in the exhibition, belonged to Paul I (reigned 1796-1801) and his wife, the Empress Mariya Fyodorovna, including the extraordinary Blue Diamond Stickpin which was originally a ring.
The diamond itself may be a chip off a famous blue diamond from the eighteenth century which belonged to the French Royal family.
