Imperial Faberge: Jeweler to the Tsars


Adult Enrichment / World Languages and Culture -
Winter/Spring 2026 Bloomington Youth and Adult Enrichment

The greatest jewelers of all time are most closely associated with the Romanovs, the richest emperors of all time. Providing adornments for the tsarist court set fashions for the rest of the European royal families. The end of the Romanov empire might have terminated the ability to continue producing the delicate works but not the mystique. This power point presentation is filled with examples of their artistry and describes the court life in which such art was possible.
