Thanks for visiting the Jewels of the Romanovs website; which
has been designed as an introduction to the real exhibition, which will
be traveling across
the United States throughout 1996 and into 1997. We hope you will enjoy
your visit to a small part of the show offered here and invite you to visit

of areas for you to explore. If this is your first time to visit Jewels
of the Romanovs we suggest you follow the navigation step by step as you
