A romantic crown inspired by Tsarina Alexandra Feodorovna.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlexandra Feodorovna was Imperial Russia’s last reigning Tsarina. Along with Tsar Nicholas II, she ruled St. Petersburg during the days leading up to the Russian Revolution. Never popular with her subjects, she was constantly reminded of her non-Russian origins, as she was of German and British stock. Her grandmother was, in fact, Queen Victoria, head of the British Empire. Tragically, the Tsarina and her entire family were cruelly executed in July 1918, which effectively ended the Imperial Russian era of opulence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore her death, the Tsarina feared that the palace jewels might fall into the hands of revolutionaries, new government agencies, or worse, the common folk. She befriended a group of nuns in a nearby convent and entrusted them with a stash of her most cherished pieces. Fearing that the convent could be searched, the nuns further entrusted an old fish store owner whom they knew was a loyal Romanov supporter. Stored in two glass jars filled to the rim, he hid the treasure beneath the store’s premises, deep below the wooden floors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRegrettably, in 1933, his secret was revealed by a family member who betrayed him to the local police. The store was searched, and the bounty was retrieved. At the time, the jewels were valued at over $8 million. No one in present-day Russia can account for the whereabouts of these historical pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrown Designers pays tribute to Tsarina Alexandra with our Romanov Legacy Crown, a stunning version of a piece worn by her majesty during her reign.
