Jewelry boxes are used not just to store precious jewelry but also to preserve the delicate and expensive treasures. They serve as uniquely charming and wonderfully romantic gifts for any occasion. The boxes are beautiful additions to all dressing tables and can also be used as decorative pieces for the interiors.
This beautiful Faberge style box is made by Russian jeweller. Russian Empire's Coat of Arms - the double-headed eagle (one head watches the East, while the other one watches the West of the Russian Empire) crowned with two emperor's crowns, above which there is yet another Tzar's crown with St. Andrew's Order ribbon flying under it is depicted on the cover of this box. The eagle is holding the golden scepter in his right talon, while the golden imperial orb is in his left talon. Some say that the double-headed eagle coat of arms was adopted in 1497 by Tsar Ivan III, who took the Byzantinian two-headed eagle and improved it with the arms of Moscow.
