Russian pre-1917 Imperial era jeweled gold pieces are rare in general. Old Russian jewelry with stones like this 2 ct ruby, is a great rarity. Unlike American and Western European jewelry from the same period, very little Russian jewels have survived to these days. Always being clearly hallmarked, easily dated and attributed (hallmarking was mandatory in Russia), Russian Imperial era jewelry was largely produced by hand. It is mostly of good quality. Considering its rarity, overall quality, and growing demand, antique Russian jewelry represents a great investment potential.
