Pectoral Crosses of the Russian Tsars

In addition to the royal crown, scepter, staff, orb, gold chains, barmas, and throne chair, pectoral crosses were among the most important royal regalia.

The most historically valuable is the small cross of Mikhail Feodorovich, the first Tsar of the Romanov dynasty. This relic was blessed to the young Mikhail by his father, Patriarch Filaret. It was made in Moscow between 1619 and 1633.

In 1627, Tsarina Evdokia Lukyanovna presented her daughter Irina Mikhailovna with a cross dating from 1554 with an ancient Byzantine sapphire in the shape of a cross.

The most beautiful and intricate cross that has survived to this day belonged to Tsar Feodor Alexeevich. This cross, set with large diamonds, opened and served as a miniature crucifix before which the Tsar could pray in moments of solitude.

The last official royal pectoral cross was the emerald cross of Tsar Peter the Great, who was crowned at the same time as his elder brother. Since Ivan, by seniority, inherited all the main royal regalia, a second set was made for Peter.

Emperor Peter kept his emerald cross with the image of Saint Peter throughout his life. By order of Tsar Peter, from 1719 onward, all regalia of the Russian Tsardom were to be kept in the Kremlin and belonged not to the monarch or dynasty personally, but to the Russian state.

But the pectoral cross remained with Peter until the end. The relic was transferred to the Kremlin from St. Petersburg in 1727 only after the monarch's funeral and the death of his wife.

In the 18th century, the coronation still took place in ancient Moscow, not the capital, but underwent some changes. The set of regalia changed: the traditional ancient thrones, scepter, and orbs remained, crosiers fell out of fashion, and the royal hats were replaced by imperial crowns. The royal massive gold chains, ancient shoulder barmas, and narthex cross were replaced by the chain of the principal order of the Russian Empire.

The royal crosses are carefully preserved in the Armory Chamber of the Moscow Kremlin.

The jewels of the Waddesdon Bequest Collection at the British Museum ✨

The Waddesdon Bequest is a collection of nearly 300 objects, left to the British Museum in 1898 by Baron Ferdinand Rothschild. It consists of exceptionally important medieval and Renaissance pieces, as well as a number of 19th-century fakes. Together, they paint a fascinating picture of the development of the art market in the late 19th century.

The collection takes its name from Baron Ferdinand’s Buckinghamshire mansion, Waddesdon Manor, where it was displayed in a specially designed setting, the ‘New Smoking Room’.

Mermaid
Enamelled gold, emeralds and diamonds
French (?) 1800-1857
The mermaid is cast in gold and her body is set with 24 emeralds. Made as a fake before 1857, she was altered to make her more plausible as a Renaissance jewel before she was acquired by the Rothschilds.



Hippocamp with a female rider.

Enamelled gold, emeralds, pearls.
Paris (?) 1800-1847.

This jewel is set with 13 superb Colombian emeralds and a separately cast Native American rider. It appears to be a clever fake, made before 1847 (Renaissance Revival jewelry).

Three golden pendants lockets - swipe for the details 👉🏻

The Grenville Jewel Enamelled gem-set gold, pearl
Paris, 1635-40
The locket contains a miniature signed by David Des Granges of Sir Bevil Grenville (1596-1643). He was a Cornish Royalist general who was killed in 1643 in the English Civil War. The locket is referred to in his wife’s will in 1647 and descended in the family until Baron Ferdinand acquired it in the 1890s.

The Lyte Jewel Enamelled gold, set with diamonds
London, 1610-11

The locket contains a portrait by Nicholas Hilliard of James VI and I of Scotland and England. It was given by James to Thomas Lyte, author of a pedigree tracing James’s ancestry back to Brute, the mythical Trojan founder of the British nation. It promoted James’s rule as ‘King of Great Britain, and the pedigree was displayed at Whitehall Palace. Lyte’s own copy of the pedigree survives in the British Library.
