Before revolution swept away their gilded age, Princess Irina, niece of Tsar Nicholas II, and her enigmatic husband, Prince Felix Yusupov, possessed a treasure trove of legendary gems.

Join us as we explore:

💎 Fabled diamonds like the Polar Star, the enigmatic Sultan of Morocco, and the "Ram's Head" that inspired Schiaparelli's shocking pink.
