How to marry a romanov

These brides did not have to fear assassins wearing the traditional diamond armour of the Romanov's. With a mantle clasp made for tsarina Elisabeth I of Russia in 1741, the tiara of Empress Elizabeth Alexeievna ca 1820, a collier with diamond the size of small eggs, the cherry earrings of Catherine the great and the nuptial crown created in 1840. The more the diamonds, the merrier!
