Most Beautiful and Expensive Tiara in HistoryTiara refers to a jeweled headpiece that a woman wears for important formal occasions. A tiara usually looks like a small crown and is often worn by royalty or nobility. The largest collection of tiaras in the world is said to belong to Queen Elizabeth II.

Today, the word "tiara" is often used interchangeably with the word "diadem", and tiara is often translated to a word similar to diadem in other languages. Both words come from head ornaments worn by ancient men and women to denote high status. As Geoffrey Munn notes, "The word 'tiara' is actually Persian in origin—the name first denoted the high-peaked head-dresses of Persian kings, which were encircled by 'diadems' (bands of purple and white decoration). Now, it is used to describe almost every form of decorative head ornament." Ancient Greeks and Romans used gold to make wreath-shaped head ornaments, while the Scythians' resembled a stiff halo that would serve as the inspiration for later Russian kokoshniks. The use of tiaras and diadems declined along with the decline of the Roman Empire and the rise of Christianity.

Most Beautiful and Famous Crown Jewels in HistoryThe crown is a very powerful symbol of authority and power, and it is the traditional form of headgear for monarchs such as kings, queens, and emperors. Deities are also shown to wear crowns, and in that, the monarchs would associate their own origins with those of their gods or God. We’ve chosen to discuss the symbolism of the royal crown because it is fascinating how such a piece of jewelry can wield so much power and command so much respect.

There are various types of crowns: those worn by monarchs, those worn by emperors and those worn by consorts. Their number is large, so we are only going to focus on the royal crown because it is still an important symbol in present times. There are 40 countries from all over the world with known royal crowns, and some of them have more than one. For example, the United Kingdom has six, together with the Crown of Scotland. Other important crowns for the Brits are St. Edward’s Crown, Imperial State Crown, Queen Victoria’s Diamond Crown, State Crown of George I and the Coronation Crown of George IV.

The royal crown is a symbol of power and authority, of triumph, victory, legitimacy, honor, and glory, but of resurrection, immortality, and righteousness as well. In the past, it was truly believed that Western kings were directly anointed by God and that His power flowed through them, protecting the people. This, of course, gave kings and queens tremendous advantage, and put the basis for monarchies and the need for rulers to produce heirs so the families who were in power, stayed in power. For example, the crown is sometimes shown in art as being brought by angels, or placed on the monarch’s head by angels.

A link for the royal crown in recent history may also be the laurel wreath worn by Roman emperors, and which was also used to convince the masses that their emperors were chosen and protected by the gods. Similarly, royal crowns sometimes feature oak leaver, flowers or thorns, and they are sometimes built in the shape of a wreath. Besides their religious symbolism, crowns are also a symbol of wealth, as they are made only from the finest materials, metals, and jewels.

Usually, what is most impressive about royal crowns are their gems and stones; some of them feature the largest known jewels, like the Imperial State Crown, which is part of the Crown Jewels of the United Kingdom. This masterpiece weighs 0.91 kilograms and is 31.5 centimeters tall. It is adorned with some of the most famous jewels in the world, such as St. Edward’s sapphire, the Black Prince’s Ruby, the Stuart Sapphire, and Queen Elizabeth’s pearls.

Whatever they represent today, the crowns, coronets or diadems of royal families are an important part of cultures around the world and, if not for that, they still have historical value and an artistic one, because they were made by the finest jewelers and craftsmen of the time.

Beautiful and Expensive Imperial Egg of Russia from the House of FabergeIn 2010, an American scrap-metal dealer visited an antique stall somewhere in the United States and purchased a golden egg sitting on a three-legged stand. The egg was adorned with diamonds and sapphires, and it opened to reveal a clock. Intending to sell the object to a buyer who would melt it down for its component metals, the dealer purchased this egg-clock for $13,302. He then had trouble selling it, as potential buyers deemed it overpriced.

The dealer had valued it incorrectly—but not the way he originally thought. In 2014, the man—who remains anonymous—discovered that his little golden objet d’art was one of the 50 exquisitely bespoke Fabergé Easter eggs created for imperial Russia’s royal Romanov family. Its value? An estimated $33 million.

The Romanovs’ extravagant royal Easter egg tradition began with Czar Alexander III in 1885. Alexander was then in the fifth year of his reign, having succeeded his father, Alexander II, who had been killed by bomb-wielding assassins. In 1885, Alexander sought an Easter gift to surprise and delight his wife Maria Feodorovna, who had spent her early years as a Danish princess before leaving Copenhagen to marry him and become a Russian empress. He turned to Peter Carl Fabergé, a master goldsmith who had taken over his father’s House of Fabergé jewelry business in 1882.

They are at once exquisite works of art and fascinating relics of a vanished era. Some of the most valuable and prized treasures on earth, the jeweled eggs created by Peter Carl Faberge for the Russian Tsar represent the zenith of the jeweler's art. They helped secure Faberge a monumental reputation and embody an era of opulence that came to a sudden, horrific end. This film tours the Forbes Collection and the Hillwood Museum, offering a comprehensive history of these magnificent creations. Curators and experts reveal the amazing features that make each egg a masterpiece while historians explain how the waning years of Russian royalty can be traced through the eggs' changing themes. From the courts of the Tsar to today's auctions, this film presents the incredible story of some of the most mesmerizing objects ever created.

The original version of the film was produced and released in 2005, by A&E Home Video. This version is a special edition by "The Romanov Royal Martyrs Project", featuring new music and colorized pictures by Olga Shirnina.

This video is produced as part of the project for the book "The Romanov Royal Martyrs”, which is an impressive 512-page book, featuring nearly 200 black & white photographs, and a 56-page photo insert of more than 80 high-quality images, colorized by the acclaimed Russian artist Olga Shirnina (Klimbim) and appearing here in print for the first time.
