This beautiful necklace was part of a jewelry set gifted to Princess Stéphanie of Belgium by the city of Budapest. The occasion of the gift was her marriage to Crown Prince Archduke Rudolf (son of Sissi) on 10 May 1881. The piece is inlaid with the so-called "Hungarian opal", which was highly prized in the history of jewelry. .

The Library of Nicholas II, tucked away in a corner of the Winter Palace which is now the home of the Государственный Эрмитаж.

This is my favourite room at the Hermitage – there are so many (many) opulent and beautiful rooms here, but this one is one of the smallest and quietest and, in a way, the most thoughtful and carefully crafted in its atmosphere.
